Message from Mrs. Wilken
Dear Trailblazer Families,
This week is going to be BUZZing... Yep, it's time for the annual Spelling Bee!
If your child is participating it is sure to be a fun experience and if they are not, please consider coming as a spectator to cheer on our Trailblazers. Each grade level will have their own grade level competition in the MPR. Look below, in our PTA News section, for more information.
It's that time to request that all Trailblazer families complete the quick Returning Families Survey as we start to plan for next year. Please scroll down to obtain the link and complete the survey ASAP. Thank you, in advance, for helping us prepare for the 2023-24 by making sure your family is included in our numbers and plans for the 2023-24 school year.
If you haven't seen the District's Friday Feature, make sure to take a look! You will see a quick glimpse inside our own Stone Ranch Elementary School.
As always, proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Wilken
