Stories from Stephenson #12
2026-2027

A Message from Principal Jeans
Dear Stephenson community,
Tonight is the Fall Fun Night, a Stephenson tradition that stands as an exemplar of why Stephenson is a model of excellence in community. Please come out tonight and join the fun from 6:00-7:30. This is a fundraiser for the PTA with a $20 per student entry. Parents are free. The PTA will cover any entry fee if families need help covering the cost. Next week’s video news show will feature Fall Fun Night footage.
This week’s episode continues our focus on things that make Stephenson special: with stories on our Maker Space, our CB program and our newest staff member, a song from the Tortoise and the Hare, and a “from the field” story about the athletic field construction at Jackson MS. Check it out, subscribe, and share our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@StephensonVideoNews For daily glimpses into Stephenson follow us https://www.instagram.com/stephenson_lions/
PPS Rightsizing-your perspective belongs in this conversation.
Share what you believe the district should preserve, what needs to change, and what we may be overlooking. Your feedback will help inform the Superintendent's recommendation to the Board of Education.
COMPLETE THE RIGHTSIZING SCENARIO FEEDBACK FORM
We encourage you to share the feedback form with other families in our school community so all perspectives can be considered.
