A New Look at Grading This Year K-5
Our elementary school K-5 grading will look a little different this year because we have transitioned to standards-based grading. This approach gives us a clearer picture of what each student has learned by showing the specific skills they have mastered and the skills where they may need additional practice. Our goal is to provide more meaningful information about student learning and help each child continue to grow.

Today Mrs. Sem joined 4th grade to talk about the Ronald McDonald House and her daughter Everlee. She shared her daughter’s story and how raising pop tops has helped her stay at the Ronald McDonald House for free while going to doctor appointments. She then challenged 4th grade to collect pop tops to donate again this year. If you would like to help out in this challenge simply drop pop tops off at the Elementary School for Mr. Hellman to collect!

📢 Class Dues Reminder – $5 📢
Attention parents of students in grades 7-12: It's time to collect class dues for the year.
Your $5 contribution helps cover class incidentals throughout the year (like a get-well gift for a classmate who's sick) and also serves as an important early fundraiser for bigger expenses down the road such as prom expenses and graduation costs like caps, gowns, stoles, and flowers.
With class sizes growing each year, these costs add up and the more we raise now, the less your student's class will need to fundraise during junior year.
💵 Please send $5 with your student and have them drop it off in the office. Thank you for helping set your class up for success! 🎓 If there is a financial burden, please reach out and we can help.

Mr. Hellman’s Social Studies has been learning about the American Revolution. Mr. Hellman has become “His Royal Majesty King Hellman the Third.” The class or “Colonists” have made their own money that he will take from them as taxes to pay for our wars. This will help the class gain a first hand perspective of taxation without representation and the causes of the American Revolution.

ATTENTION STANLEY ELEMENTARY PATRONS: The south door of the main vestibule entrance is sticking today and requires adjustment. Please note that the outside vestibule door remains unlocked every day between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. If the door sticks, apply extra pressure and try again—it is not locked. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but it may take more than one attempt to open in the meantime.
