Sunday, April 30

 

Happy Sunday! This week is Teacher's Appreciation Week. It is an opportunity to show your child's teacher how much you appreciate them. Take a look at the schedule above and spoil your teacher a bit each day. Our hope is that by end the week they will feel a little extra loved and appreciated. We all know how much they deserve our love and appreciation! 

Crosswalk/Parking Lot Help: One of the things the teachers appreciate most is help covering their parking lot duty. Please sign up here to help during Teacher Appreciation Week.

Sunday, April 23

 

What a beautiful weekend! It is funny how we often say how hot it is the first few days it hits 80 degrees. But we all know, the real heat will be here soon. We all adjust and make it work. 

This weekend was full of many games for the Brooks. We lucked out and the games were back to back. The good news is that we could see the games of all of our three kids. The bad news is that Saturday was 11:30-6:30 and Sunday 11am-5pm. Truthfully, it is not bad news at all. We love it! And I know that all of you can relate. This is a season in life that often feels tough, but man, we will miss it when it is gone.

April Meeting Notes:

By a unanimous 2022-23 Board Member vote, the following 2023/24 New Board was voted in on Thursday.  We will continue to search for VP of Events & VP of Fundraising and are excited to provide you another list of Board Positions & Chair Leads/Positions with descriptions and time commitments like the teachers requested in a PDF attached here. Thank you SO much for promoting this ASAP and as positions get filled, I'll narrow the list down with the volunteer names and positions still needed.  The goal is to keep promoting unfilled positions to get people in place for Janine, David, and Stefanie before the end of the school year and so the current board can cross train and get them all set up.  The current board also offered to help over the summer with them and the new Principal to make this transition the best we can. With all that said, another CONGRATULATIONS Janine, David & Stefanie!

For the May meeting we'll have their Bio's and a PDF for the teachers to send to parents introducing the new board and other chair leads too!  

New PTC Board is looking to recruit volunteers for events and positions now before next year. Thank you for taking a look at all the fun, cool things a parent(s) can do with minimal time. Please send forms back to teachers or email your interest/form to stoneridgeptc1@gmail.com.

I am pleased to announce that Megan Spears will be joining our school community as the new principal starting with the 2023-2024 school year. Mrs. Spears brings a wealth of experience and expertise in elementary education, and we are thrilled to welcome her to Stoneridge. 

Mrs. Spears has been an educator for over 13 years, serving as an RCSD teacher, Assistant Principal, and Coordinator in the Educational Services department. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Childhood Development and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and is committed to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment for all students. 

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, Mrs. Spears will work closely with our staff and me to ensure a smooth transition and build upon our school's strengths. We look forward to introducing her to our students and families and working together to support the success of all students at Stoneridge. 

We are excited to have her leadership and expertise as we continue to strive for excellence at Stoneridge.

Join us for the last skate night for the school year! It will be this Wednesday April 19 from 5:30-7:30! We are hoping for a big crowd! Hope to see you all there! 

ATTENTION 5th Grade Parents: Get your 5th grader a yard sign to celebrate their years at Stoneridge and move to middle school. They will feel so special. You can find them on stoneridgeshop.com The image above shows where you can find it. 

Mark your calendars! Carnival is coming back to Stoneridge on Friday 5/12 from 5.30 - 7.30pm. This is going to be so much fun! We are so excited to be able to bring it back.

Hello Stoneridge! I hope you had a wonderful break. I know that Spring officially began weeks ago but it finally feels like Spring! My crazy kids went swimming both days this weekend for no other reason than the sun was out. They lasted way longer than I expected and had a blast. 

We are now entering into the part of the school year that flies by! Students in grade 3-5 will soon be participating in CAASPP testing and everyone will be learning as much as possible during these last few weeks. Be watching for emails and communication as there are always a lot of things happening this time of year. 

Open PTC Board Positions:
