Arrival: Students can arrive from 7:55-8:20. Students are counted tardy after 8:25am. An adult is required to walk the student in and sign him/her in at the office.

Dismissal: Students are released at 3:00pm. Due to dismissal procedures, we ask that students do not check out after 2:40pm without prior approval from an administrator.

Transportation Changes: Transportation changes need to be made prior to 2pm. If it is a same day change, it must be communicated to the main office. Teachers may not be able to check dojo throughout the day.

Teachers will send home progress reports during the week of 9/15-9/19. If you have any questions about your child's academic progress, you can always reach out to his/her teacher.

Next week, September 15-19, is Start with Hello Week!

Start with Hello Week is a program from Sandy Hook Promise, they also do Say Something and the Say Something app. It is a week that is meant to "Build a strong and resilient school community. Empower students to embrace empathy and reject bullying and social isolation." The whole idea behind the week is that you can do all that by starting with a hello.

Our Morning Meetings will be all about Start with Hello this week, which is awesome!

Here at Stories Creek, we will have a theme for each day.

Monday is "My Name is... Monday" and everyone, staff and students, will wear name tags.

Tuesday is "Talk Tuesday" where students are encouraged to talk to someone they do not know.

Wednesday is "Wear Green Wednesday" so everyone should make sure to wear green because it is both the color of Start with Hello week and of course also our Gator Green!

Thursday is "Thank You Thursday" students are encouraged to say thank you to as many people as possible.

Friday is "Feel Good Friday" where everyone should make sure to do what they can to help everyone feel good and included

Picture Day is September 23rd. Pictures must be paid for ahead of time with redos and makeups offered (date to be announced). BIG CHANGE this year-> We cannot accept payments at school the day of. Payments have to be made directly to Strawbridge online. Follow the directions in the picture above to pay for your child's school pictures.

See the flyer here for more details.

We are excited to have new cones this year. The picture above shows our morning car line and afternoon car line (post fastpass). Please follow the traffic pattern established by the cones to ensure student safety. A cone means- do not drive in this area.

Car riders will dismiss at 3pm daily. For the safety of our staff and students, please follow the directions of any staff members helping with car line.

Important Reminders:

-Please remain in your vehicles (with the exception of students who need mobility assistance).

-Please follow the directions of staff members. To keep traffic out of Chub Lake Rd, they will be directing you to move up to specific cones before allowing your child to get in.

-Staff will open the car door for students to enter the vehicle, but they will not be responsible for buckling the student in.

We ask for your patience as the beginning of school year car line runs a little slowly at first. It will move faster once everyone is more familiar with the processes.
