Notes from Stonehedge Elementary
September 23, 2022
Message from Stonehedge Elementary School Principal
Dear Stonehedge Families,
Welcome Fall! Brrr! :) This week teachers held data meetings to review our beginning of the year data and make plans for team time which begins next week. Team time is an important part of our day here at Stonehedge. Students work on the specific skills they need to grow as a learner.
Thank you for all of your support during dismissal. We have car dismissal time under twenty minutes. We start loading cars at 3:10 and we are finishing around 3:25. Buses have consistently been leaving around 3:30 each day. Thank you for your support and help!
Be sure to mark your calendar for October 5th for our first 1/2 day. Car dismissal will start at 11:10 on half days.
Sincerely,
Amanda Simmons
Paige's Pajamarama
When: Friday, October 7
What: Wear your PJ's to school and donate money to help support pediatric cancer research and patient programs at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital (donations can be made online or offices will have a collection basket).
Why: EACH YEAR 60-70 CHILDREN ARE DIAGNOSED WITH PEDIATRIC CANCER AT UPSTATE
GOLISANO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
Look for a flyer in your child's backpack.
