Welcome Back!



Dear Stonehedge Families,  

I am very excited to kick off the 2013-2014 school year. Thank you to parents, students, teachers, and staff all of whom have made the first few opening days of school a huge success! I have taken many photos to share so that you can feel a part of our first week of school. I hope you can sense the warmth and excitement that is felt at Stonehedge.

We have experienced today our very first full day of kindergarten. Each kindergarten teacher brought their class through the lunch line and taught the children how lunch is done at Stonehedge. I must say around 1:00 p.m. some eyelids became heavy and a dazed look could be found on some of our youngest learners. After lunch, rest, and a good story, students revved up for afternoon activities. If your kindergarten student comes home and you ask them what they did, don’t believe it when they say, “nothing!” 

Our upcoming Open House has been scheduled for Thursday, September 12. The purpose of the Open House is to provide parents and guardians the opportunity to view the physical environment of your child’s classroom as well as become acquainted with the curriculum and classroom procedures. We ask that children not attend our Open House. It is a night for parents only. Grade level presentation times are as follows:                  

  • K-1: 6:30-6:55 
  • 2-3: 7:00-7:25 
  • 4-5: 7:30-7:55

I truly feel that it is an honor to lead and educate your children socially, emotionally, and academically. Students learn best when they are safe and having fun. We will work to ensure that we provide this setting for the students at Stonehedge while striving for academic excellence. I look forward to connecting with you at Open House!
