Message from Mrs. Wilken
Dear Trailblazer Families,
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful week off. It's officially - We have rounded the corner to the final stretch of our school year!
Each week there will be different and new school activities and events happening on campus. Make sure you scroll through each week's blazer bulletin so that you don't miss anything. There are exciting upcoming events like, Family Movie Night ( it's free for all SRES students and their families), the Spring Fling, and the 1st annual kids only Jammie Jam - Adults Night Out. Stay connected and if you are still not getting my one way text Remind messages, the time is now to sign up.
For our third through fifth grade families, CAASPP testing will begin next week. Your child's classroom teacher should be giving you all the information you need to help support your child's success on these statewide tests. We look forward to all of our third through fifth grade students having a chance to show what they know and shine bright! 🌟
As always, proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Wilken

SCHOOL NEWS
SRES Spring Safety Summit
SRES Community
We will be holding a spring Safety Summit to address the physical safety of our school. We would like to ensure that the safety summit meeting reflects, as much as possible, the needs and interests of our parent/guardian/community audience.
Based on the responses to this survey, we will pick a subset of topics to cover, balancing depth with breadth. We also plan to have associate superintendent Greg Mizel join us to address our school community.
Please click HERE to provide your input. This input survey will be open for responses through Wednesday April 26th.
It is quick and to the point. Please consider taking a few minutes to give your input now.
COULD YOU SPARE AN HOUR?
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for offering helps for arts show committee sign up. For Art show committee, people will need to do works below:
- Selecting art pieces for each classe
- Matting
- Class and Students' name tags
- Covering, decorating display boards
- Display boards set up
- Hanging arts
Art selection is going on for some classes with volunteers, but hope somebody can cover classes with no volunteer.

DISTRICT NEWS
PUSD 2023-2024 Continuing Student Registration will open up in May!
Our goal is 100%. We are at 95% of our current families having completed continued registration for their child/ren.
Please help us make sure all our current kiddos have a seat at stone ranch next year!
We MUST receive a completed digital packet for all returning students. This will allow for proper placement of your student for the 2023-2024 school year. This annual digital process will allow a family to complete one single “family” packet instead of completing one packet per student. Packets can be completed using any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
Continuing Registration Steps:
1. Login and complete the digital registration packet online at the ParentVue portal: https://sis.powayusd.com/Packet
2. Review and complete the required forms located at the conclusion of the process. A packet is not considered finalized until this step is completed.
Please note: MEDICATION FORMS or ADDITIONAL SIGNED SITE SPECIFIC FORMS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED UNTIL SCHOOL BEGINS IN AUGUST FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR.
