September Update
Stockton Elementary School
Students have really enjoyed playing on the spidernest and learning how to play gaga ball!
A Few Reminders from Mrs. Downey
- Please do not drop your child off prior to 7:50, as this is when staff members are available to supervise and monitor students.
- Breakfast is available every day. Students can enter the elementary starting at 7:50 if eating breakfast at school.
- It is going to be hot again next week. Please make sure to send a water bottle with your child each day.
- Please make sure to call the office if your child's destination will change at the end of the day.
- Don't forget our elementary number is now 815-947-3702. Please disregard the old elementary phone number that is no longer in use.
Picture Day - Wednesday, September 6
Stockton Schools is partnering with a new photography company this year, HR Imaging. Flyers went home with students earlier this week. Parents also should have received an email with directions on how to order online. Please call with any questions you may have.
Grandparent's Day Celebration - Friday, September 29
We are excited to bring back Grandparent's Day to Stockton Elementary! The celebration will occur on Friday, September 29 for grandparents of students in K-5th grade. More information will be sent home with students soon, but please mark this date on your calendar. We look forward to welcoming grandparents for a fun day!
Safety Drills
In September and October we will conduct our annual safety drills that includes 3 fire drills, 1 tornado drill, and 1 lockdown drill. Your child's teacher will review procedures with the class and prepare students for the drill. Please let your child's classroom teacher or the office know if you have any questions.
School Store Kickoff
The elementary will again be participating in the School Store fundraiser this year. Be on the lookout for flyers that will be sent home mid-September.
