Art Docent and PTC Liaison
We still have a few teachers that need Art Docents and PTC Liaisons. The purpose of the PTC Liaison is to increase communication between and participation with parents and the PTC. The PTC Liaison has an important role of representing your class and keeping them updated with the goings on of the PTC.

The following teachers are still in need of a PTC Liaison:
Mrs. Beck, Mrs. DeLeo, Mrs. Shannon Nelson, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Oxenham, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Wallace, Ms. Reidt, Mrs. Pointer, and Mrs. Santos

The following teachers are still in need of an Art Docent:
Mrs. DeCuir, Mrs. Oxenham, Mrs. Wallace, Mr. Blake, and Mrs. Robertson.

If you are interested in either position please email your child's teacher.

Remind Text Service
We are primarily communicating through the blog and text messaging.  There will be a few emails but we are using our Remind Text Service more and more.  To receive messages via text, text @stonewolf to 81010. You can opt-out of messages at anytime by replying, 'unsubscribe @stonewolf'.

Yellow Pages
We’re excited to let you know we are participating in YP℠ for Schools program again this year!
Last year we raised $7,000 and we can still earn $3,000 more this year.
How It Works:

By reviewing local businesses on yp.com and through the YP℠ app, we collect points that translate into donations for Stoneridge. The more you write and the more photos you share, the more points you collect and the more funds we raise.

You can get started today:

It’s as easy as 1-2-3…
1 - Sign up at http://ow.ly/WLQMz
2 – Share your opinions about local businesses on yp.com or using the YP app.
3 – Each review translates into points that count towards funds that
will benefit Stoneridge.

You can also text Stoneridge to 99000 and download the app on your phone.


Sami's Circuit Book and Sami's Circuit Family Night
Our students had a great time at Sami's Circuit on Wednesday.  Sami is coming back on September 14th for family night.  A flyer will be coming home on Monday with more information.  Here is a link to the flyer if you need.

Also Sami has a new book coming out.  If you would like to order his book please have the order form back to Stoneridge by Friday September 16th.  The flyer went home this previous week but if you need it again here it is.

Destination Imagination Information Night
If you missed our DI information night there is still a make up night on Wednesday, September 21st.  If you have any questions or are interested in joining a team please email Lynn Benavidez at lharrisonbenavidez@sierracollege.edu.  You can view more information here.
