Welcome Back: August 16, 2020

Hello Families! 

This is my first blog post of the year. For those families new to Stoneridge, this is our school communication that is shared weekly. 

We made it through our first week of school AND our first curriculum pick up. Thank you to all of you for your positive messages and kind words. Your support is noticed and appreciated. 

A quick reminder that these first two weeks are focused on getting all of the kinks worked out and getting to know each other. The curriculum will be introduced very soon! We can't bypass the important steps of building relationships and setting expectations for each class. 

This is a tough time and if you are finding that you or your child is struggling with mental health, please visit this page. There is a Virtual Calming Room and a request for support: Virtual Calming Room 

Related to Mental Health, we have a new psychologist at Stoneridge. She may be reaching out to you and don't hesitate to reach out to her! Her name is Sierra Grimes and she in not entirely new to Stoneridge. She was an intern at out site the year before last. It is wonderful to have her back! 

This is a little about her:

Hobbies: Playing soccer, hiking, paddleboarding

Favorite Animal: Sloth

I will be at Stoneridge Th, F

Favorite quote: “Every student deserves a great education, not by chance, but by design."

Speaking of curriculum, the students will soon be taking an assessment on the program i-Ready. Many of you are likely familiar with this program. The great thing about this program is that after the assessment, the program will create lessons and practice at each student's level. It is an excellent resource to support student learning. Here are some Fridge Tips for working with i-Ready at home:

PTC: This week, I will be sharing a document for you to vote for our new PTC members. We are excited to get our new team up and running! 

I know this is a lot of information. As always, don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
