Message from the Principal
Dear Stuart Mesa Families,
We have parent conferences that started Friday, Oct. 16 and will go until Friday, Oct. 23rd. All parent conference days are minimum day schedule. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have not scheduled a conference. On Friday, Oct. 23rd, please join us for our annual Fright Night community event from 4:00-7:00 PM.
Thank you, parents for all the support on Friday during our power outage. We appreciate your patience as we had to reschedule our parent conferences and close our Book Fair.

E-bike and E-Scooter Permits for 26-27 School Year
Please follow the directions, linked HERE, in order for your student to ride their e-bike or e-scooter to school. If your student has a permit from last year, they still need to renew it for the 2026-27 school year!
Friendly reminder for all scooter and bike riders: Please put your bike or scooter on the bike rack. We have lots of students forgetting our bike and scooter rules.

Please see these amazing resources for Parent all in two links:
