Stonybrook Red Storm Forecast
February 1, 2021
From Principal Smith
The learning model request window for students in 6th - 8th grade is now closed. This was the last opportunity for a change in the model for this school year. If you missed the window, I'm truly sorry, however, we will not be able to make any changes now that the window is closed. We set the deadline to ensure that we could provide safe classroom conditions and to allocate the correct number of teachers and resources to virtual and hybrid learning.
We are still planning on our 6th - 8th grade students returning to the HYBRID IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL model on Wednesday, February 17th. A reminder that Monday, February 15th is Presidents' Day and Tuesday, February 16th is a district wide eLearning day for staff professional development.
Upon return, our 6th -8th grade students will follow the Black and Gold Schedule. The schedule can be found on page 19 of our S.A.F.E Reopening Plan which is linked here and our website.
Please remember to communicate with us if your son or daughter is experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or has been tested for COVID-19. In both of these situations, we ask that you keep your child at home until the symptoms have gone away or you have received the results of the COVID test.
As we prepare for potential inclement weather this winter, an inclement weather delay and closing FAQ has been created to address this during the IN-PERSON, VIRTUAL, and HYBRID window. The FAQ can be found on our website by clicking District Information under the Explore Tab.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Smith
Black History Month
Happy Black History month!
Most people think of Rosa Parks as the first person to refuse to give up their seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. There were actually several women who came before her; one of whom was Claudette Colvin.
It was March 2, 1955, when the fifteen-year-old schoolgirl refused to move to the back of the bus, nine months before Rosa Parks’ stand that launched the Montgomery bus boycott. Claudette had been studying Black leaders like Harriet Tubman in her segregated school, those conversations had led to discussions around the current day Jim Crow laws they were all experiencing. When the bus driver ordered Claudette to get up, she refused, “It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn't get up."
Claudette Colvin’s stand didn’t stop there. Arrested and thrown in jail, she was one of four women who challenged the segregation law in court. If Browder v. Gayle became the court case that successfully overturned bus segregation laws in both Montgomery and Alabama, why has Claudette’s story been largely forgotten? At the time, the NAACP and other Black organizations felt Rosa Parks made a better icon for the movement than a teenager. As an adult with the right look, Rosa Parks was also the secretary of the NAACP, and was both well-known and respected – people would associate her with the middle class and that would attract support for the cause. But the struggle to end segregation was often fought by young people, more than half of which were women.
