Stilwell Monday Message
Weekly Student and Family Communication
Monday - 8/24/2020
We are all gearing up and preparing for your students to arrive this week and we cannot wait to get started. On Thursday, August 27th students will have an even day. Please view the block schedule video from Dr. Christensen, the principal at Indian Hills, for additional support. We will be sending an additional message to our online learning families later today.
Stillwell will open each morning at 7:15 and students walking or getting a ride to school should use the West entrance that faces Grand Avenue. Students riding the bus will use the South Entrance that faces Vine Street. This is an adjustment to last school year but is a necessary mitigation strategy to keep all students safe.
Below you will find a short video message highlighting some changes within our physical building this school year. It is important to note that Stilwell is currently sitting in line with the district with 25% of our students electing to go online and 75% of our students electing to go onsite. Please remember that masks are required within the building as social distancing will not be achieved in all spaces or class periods each day.

Parking Lot Protocol
We understand our parking lot drop-off and pick-up process can be time-consuming. However, we need all families to follow the procedures to ensure our students are safe. Please remember these guidelines:
- Do not drop off your student or stop for any reason along Vine Street.
- Do not pull into the bus lanes along Vine Street.
- Do not allow your student to exit the vehicle until you have pulled up to the curb in the parking lot.
- Please drive slowly through the parking lot and on Vine St.
