We are looking to reward our students with exceptional behavior with the End of Year Reward. While they will have many opportunities to use PBIS points this last nine weeks, this is something that requires no points.

Beginning March 17 (first day of the last nine weeks) any student who has NO ISS, OSS, or Bus Suspension and no more than ONE Rebound will be eligible to attend a grade level social time at the end of the year after EOG/EOC testing is complete.

It will be a time of fun, games, yearbook signing, concessions to be purchased, music, laughter and social time.

Everyone is eligible to earn this reward and we hope to see all our students participate.

As we are in the spring season, please be mindful about appropriate dress for school.

Also, it is prime season for our students and staff with severe allergies and asthma. Please do not make it worse by spraying strong perfume and fragrances in classrooms and on the bus.

Cell phones are to be off and away from the time students enter the building until they exit the building for dismissal.

We are in the midst of a multi-year process of applying for and earning recognition as a North Carolina STEM School of Distinction. One part of that is to connect with various businesses men and women who are in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) field.

Additionally, we would like to make connections with parents who represent many careers. We are asking that our parents please complete the Google Form to help us build our Stanley STEM Network.

Thank you to those who have already completed the form. If you use STEM skills in anyway in your profession, we need you in one of many ways!
