Gearing Up for the Final Month!

It's hard to believe that the end of the school year is on the horizon but without a doubt, these last few weeks will fly by! As we prepare to close a school year, we are also looking ahead to next year with great anticipation of another wonderful year at Stillwater Elementary School. Here are a few things to keep you updated on what's going on:

  • The staff is in the process of roster development for the 2008-09 school year. This is an extensive process that we take very seriously. There are many factors that we consider in developing balanced classrooms. You will recieve a letter in late August from your child's new teacher welcoming him or her to their classroom with details about our annual Meet Your Teacher event.
  • Stillwater Elementary will get a much-needed facelift this summer with the installation of new flooring throughout the building. All hallway and classroom carpet will be replaced along with all tiled flooring in the storage and workrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and stage. The gym flooring is the only flooring that will remain. We are very excited about this project. The inside of the building will get a new coat of paint as well! We will look forward to showing it off at the Meet Your Teacher event.
  • We are looking ahead a bit, but still have four more weeks of fun and learning ahead of us. I hope to see you at the school picnic and Walk-a-thon on May 29th!
