We wanted to provide our families with an insight on areas our school action teams have been working on. Action teams allow groups of Stone Creek staff to work collaboratively to improve Stone Creek. Below are images that proived an insight to three areas of focus with our staff.

Stone Creek parents and families, please take some time to complete this important parent survey linked here. You will also have a QR code sent home on a flyer on Friday, March 6, 2026 with your student(s). If your complete the paper and return it, you will help you child (ren) earn a house point. The survey will close March 20, 2026. This link is unique to our building, so if you have kids in multiple schools, please check their newsletter to answer questions for that building.

It is hard to believe we are already at the point in the year when we begin planning next year's class lists. We would like to explain our expectation for parent requests in class placement for the 2026-2027 school year.

• Parents need to submit a request on the Google Form by Friday, Mar. 20 at 8:00 a.m. The form will be turned off after 8:00 a.m. on Mar. 20 and requests will no longer be accepted.
• Please enter a form for each child separately.
• You may not request a teacher by name. If you request a teacher by name, it will not be honored.
• Please describe the learning style of your child and what type of teacher you feel best matches your child's learning style.
• If there are other students you don't want your child placed with, you may request this. Please give the reason why these students shouldn't be placed together. This request will need to be made annually by a parent.

Read Across America Week is celebrated from March 2 to March 6. Our school has planned events and theme days to encourage reading and educate people about its benefits. Details are in the flyer below.

March 16 - 20 is Malachite Hype Week. We will be celebrating all things green and inspiring. Please check out the calendar linked below so you don't miss out on the fun!

Lucky Ducks will be for sale this week before school in the lobby. Lucky Ducks are a way for students to show their friends and classmates how lucky they are to have them in their life. See the flyer below.

Congratulations to Stone Creek's 2026 amazing Shake Winner Violet Graffigna! Violet is in Mrs. Grimshaw's 5th grade class and is in the House of Rhodonite. We are so proud of all of our students that participated.

We would like to take this time to thank all of the WSD staff, students, and community members who used their time and talent to judge the competition. We couldn't do it without you! The mark you leave on our students is immeasurable.

Congratulations to Stone Creek's 2025 Support Staff of the Year, Dianne Reno! Diane is an IA in the Special Education Department and is a member of the House of Tanzanite. Here is a brief summary of what her peers have to say about her.

Dianne is a huge asset to SCE. She is reliable, supportive, and proactive. She has a positive attitude with students and staff, and is always willing to lend a hand. This kind of consistency is so important with our students. She is truly a joy to work with. She is always first to offer to help anywhere, with anything.

Congratulations to Margaret Thomas for being Stone Creek's February Volunteer of the Month! Margaret will receive preferential parking in our Volunteer of the Month parking spot and a Fast Pass for the month of March. Together, our volunteers took 21.25 HOURS of work off of our teacher's plates for the month of February so they could spend more time with their families. We're up to an amazing 101.25 hours given back to teachers for the school year so far! Thanks again to ALL of our volunteers for filling in the missing piece to our puzzle, we appreciate you!

Research shows as few as 2 absences a month in elementary school can lead to missing 15 days or more a year throughout a child's education. By giving your child a routine each morning, you are helping them develop the habit of coming to school each day they are not sick.

Research Shows that students that miss 10 or more days a year are 20% less likely to graduate on time. Keep them on track for graduation by sending them to school when they are not sick.

Ask us anything! We often see questions on social media about policies and procedures at Stone Creek. We are here to help! If you have any question big or small about SCE, please ask it here. Our front office will monitor your questions and respond directly to you in a timely manner. Click here to submit a question, or use the button below.

March is Youth Art Month!
Stone Creek is celebrating in two exciting ways!

First, CONGRATULATIONS to our talented students whose artwork is featured in Youth Art Month shows!

• Kylie Boutin – Artwork on display at the Wentzville School District YAM Show at Berrey-Place Center (on display for the whole year!)

• Addie Snell, Eddie Stroot, Rowan Ravenscraft, and Tyce McPherson – Artwork on display at the Missouri Art Education Association YAM Show at the Missouri State Capitol

Second, YOU can have your artwork displayed for Youth Art Month!
Each day in March, Mrs. Menier will select one student artwork to add to the Art Word Wall outside the art classroom.

How to get your artwork selected:

• Create a small, original student artwork 3” x 5” or smaller (about the size of an index card or sticky note) in any medium.

• 3D art is welcome, but must be no taller than 3 inches.

• Write your name and class code on the back or bottom.

• Turn in your finished artwork to the box outside the art room.

• You may enter every day!

Mrs. Menier will hang one student artwork each day in March. All artworks with names and class codes will be returned in April.

We can’t wait to see the amazing creations you share!

A second CONGRATULATIONS to the following students whose artwork has been entered in the MAEA Senate Show: Charlie Wagner, Jensen Fletcher, Lena Adams, Colton Gerken, Sully Craghead, Emmett, Tori Pidgeon, Ava Smith, Hattie Phillips, and Preslie Womack.

March 2 - 6 students will shop during their library time. Our late night will be Thursday, March 5 from 6:15 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

*New this year* Students must be in good standing with the library in order to shop the book fair; meaning fines from damaged/lost books must be paid first as well as overdue books turned in before shopping.

The Library is thrilled to share that our school's book vending machine is helping us celebrate students in many special ways - one way is by giving each child a free book on their birthday! To keep the machine filled with exciting choices, we're asking for your help. Instead of monetary donations, we've created an Amazon wish list with books selected just for our students. (Book sets will be separated for one book per student) By clicking the link and purchasing a book (or two!), you'll be helping us make birthdays extra special while fostering a love of reading. Thank you for your support!

Here is our Amazon Wish List for Birthday Books

The Silent Disco Glow party is fast approaching! Tickets are $10 and include wireless headphones to tune into multiple DJ channels, plus a glow-filled goodie bag with fun party essentials. Don't miss this exciting event for students!

We are still seeking donations to help make this event a success. You can view and contribute to our amazon Wish List here.

Bobo's Fundraiser order pickup will be held at Stone Creek on March 19. Pick up times are still be finalized and will be shared with families soon.

We are looking for volunteers who want to support our students, staff, and school community and make a meaningful difference. Opportunities are available in areas such as:

• Social Media & Communications

• Fundraising

• Teacher Appreciation

• PTC Leadership Roles
