Book Checkout Service
During distance learning the library is offering a Concierge Book Checkout service. This service will be available every Monday. Can't make it to school to pick up a print book? The Stone Bridge Library has a collection of eBooks and eAudio books available for checkout through our eBook app, MackinVIA. Click here to find out more about book checkout and other programs offered by your SBH Library.
Monday Attendance Form
We will no longer use Permission Click to track attendance on Asynchronous Mondays. Instead, students should submit required work in their courses to be counted present for Monday. There is no separate form students or parents need to complete. We appreciate your assistance in capturing accurate attendance data for the month of September.
Partners for Safe Teen Driving Event
In cooperation with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, LCPS is offering virtual Partners for Safe Teen Driving presentations. Attendance by students and a parent/guardian is a requirement for student driver’s licensing. Stone Bridge's events will be held on Tuesday, September 29th, and Thursday, October 8th, from 7 - 9 PM. Only Stone Bridge students using their LCPS account will be able to attend and sessions are limited. Students should register here for their preferred session. Confirmed attendees will receive an email on the date with the log on information for each session.
Managing Time in Distance Learning
As we continue in distance learning, we have heard from some parents and students that they are overwhelmed and struggling in the new environment. We encourage students to reach out to their School Counselor and teacher to get help with managing tasks and completing work online. We will also be providing student and staff tutors in the coming days during study hall as another source of support. This video provides some tips for managing your time and tasks.
Teentober at the Library
