PRINCIPAL’S WRITING WALL – Each week, students’ work is selected by teachers as exemplary and
will be displayed in the front hall of the school. Teachers are on a rotating schedule, and not all classes are
displayed every week. We have adjusted the schedule this year to allow for many more, if not all, students’
writing to be posted during the year. I invite you to read the wall regularly to see some fabulous writing!
Congratulations to the students whose writing has been highlighted this week!

EMAILING ABSENCES – If you are emailing your child’s teacher about his/her absence, please copy in
[email protected] (our attendance secretary) and [email protected] (our health
technician).
DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP CHILDREN - Please have children be on time during both
arrival and dismissal. Children should be sitting in their seats each morning at 9:25. In the afternoon, the
children get quite uncomfortable standing on concrete in the blowing wind for 20 or so minutes, so please
pick up on time. School dismisses at 3:50. Thanks! 

KEEPING EVERYONE HEALTHY – Our goal is to keep everyone at Stone Mill healthy and learning!
Should your child have fever or vomiting, he/she may NOT come to school and must stay home for a full
24 hours AFTER the fever and/or vomiting ends. It is not okay to give fever reducing medicines (like
Tylenol, Motrin, etc.) and then send the child to school. Should your child have a fever, cough, vomiting,
or sore throat, please consult your doctor.
