Stilwell Tiger Launch
Updates for our 2020-21 School Year | June 18, 2020
Stilwell Families,
As we prepare for the 2020-21 school year, we understand things will look a little different this year. We are working on plans to support our students and families whether we are able to meet face to face on the first day of school or need to begin the year in an online learning environment.
Our traditional Tiger Launch with "stations" has been adjusted to allow some things to be handled online. However, we still wish to welcome our students back in early August to walk their schedule, practice locker combinations, and handle a few other items that cannot be accomplished online.
Please read all of the details outlined below to help you and your student prepare for a great year ahead as a Stilwell student!
