Good afternoon Stoller Families,
I hope you are staying dry with all these spring showers. I do believe dry days are coming our way.
I look forward to seeing you for 8th Grade Family History Night next Thursday. Our teachers and students have put a lot of work into it.
Don't forget to register for the Stoller 5K run. Please see the article below for details.
A special note for our 6th Grade parents, please read the article below about Outdoor School departure and arrival information, as well as making arrangements for how your child will get home when they return on April 26th.
Thank you and have a great weekend.

Dropping Off Lunch For Your Student
To account for and manage visitors so that we can maintain student safety, please do not drop off lunches for your students during the lunch periods. Due to the number of parents dropping off lunches and limited front office coverage during lunch time, this is creating an added strain on our front office staff.
If your child forgets their lunch you can drop it off before lunches begin (before 11:30) or deposit money into School Cafe.
I appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to tighten up systems to keep our Stoller community safe.

Outdoor School Update
For student safety, please make arrangements for how your child will be getting home from Stoller when they return from Outdoor School on April 26th. As you are making this decision, please remember that your child may be tired and will have luggage to carry. You, or your nominated person, may pick them up soon after their bus arrives between 1:30pm and 2:30pm or they may stay in school until the end of the day and come home as normal. You must fill out this form if your child is NOT being picked up by a custodial parent or they are NOT staying until the end of the school day to go home as normal (walk, bus, or parent pick up).
The form is due in the Main Office no later than noon on Thursday, April 25th.
If you have any questions please call the Main Office at (503) 356-2680.
*Please also review the Departure Information and Arrival Information, as they contain all the important details.
