Hello Stocks Families, Thank you so much for your participation in today’s Walk to School Day!

Hello Stocks Families, Happy Sunday! This is Tiffany Mercer, your proud Principal. I hope you all are doing well and stayed safe during the inclement weather on Friday. I have two important announcements for the week: October 2nd is Love Our Custodians Day, and we are so grateful for Mr. Jenkins and Ms. Farmer, who help us keep our school clean and running smoothly. Let's show them some love! Chorus starts tomorrow, Monday, September 30th. Pick-up will be at 4:15 PM in front of the building. Please remember, chorus is only for students who turned in their paperwork to Mrs. Schultz. Thank you, and have a great week ahead! Hola familias de acciones, ¡Feliz domingo!

Hello Stocks Families, Here are two important messages for the week: First, Stocks Elementary School will be conducting a lockdown drill this week. These drills are a critical part of our safety protocol and help ensure that both students and staff know exactly what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency. While we hope to never use these procedures, practicing them is essential for the safety and well-being of our school community. Please reassure your child that the drill is just practice and nothing to be alarmed about. Your support in helping our scholars understand the importance of these drills is greatly appreciated. Secondly, progress reports will be sent home on Friday, September 20th. Progress reports are an important tool in keeping you informed of your child’s academic performance and growth. They provide insight into areas of strength as well as any areas where additional support may be needed. Please review these reports carefully and feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support in making Stocks Elementary a safe and thriving learning environment. Together, we can ensure both academic and personal growth for our scholars. If you have any questions regarding the lockdown drill or progress reports, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
