Principal's Weekly Report

Stone Families, Students, and Staff!

As we enter the final week of an incredible school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on all that we have accomplished together. This has truly been a great year, filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences for our students. I am incredibly proud of the effort, dedication, and resilience our students have shown each and every day. Their hard work has made our school community stronger and continues to inspire us all.

I would also like to extend a huge thanks to our families and staff. Your support, partnership, and commitment have played a vital role in the success of this school year. It truly takes a team, and I am grateful for each of you. As we wrap up the year, I wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer. Thank you again for being such an important part of our school community.

Reminder- Early release schedule will be Wednesday-Friday this week! Have an amazing Summer!

Go Gophers!

Please note that most scores will be loaded into the Florida Family Portal immediately after testing, but sometimes results can take as many as three days after testing before they are available. Please see the directions below for accessing these results.

Starting this year, two automated calls will be scheduled to families regarding students' attendance. A morning call between 11:00 am and 11:15 am will take place to alert families of an absence in the morning to help verify a student arrived to school. An additional call will be generated between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm to share with families a student's overall attendance for the day. Please remember attendance is crucial for a student's academic success.

Stone Magnet Middle School will adhere to the School Board Rules of Brevard County as cited in the Secondary Student Parent Handbook.

These are the portions most frequently referred to by parents, students, and school personnel.

The educational program offered by this District is predicated upon the presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and classroom participation. Attendance shall be required of all students enrolled in the school during the days and hours that the school is in session.

School attendance is the responsibility of parents/legal guardians and students.

• A student who is absent from class with an unexcused absence may need to complete supplemental learning opportunities.
• Excused absences may include medical appointment of the student, pregnancy related issues, court dates, religious holidays, illness with medical documentation and chronic and extended illness, insurmountable conditions, death in immediate family, and appointments for a therapy service provided by a licensed health professional.
• For excused absences, the student shall have a reasonable amount of time, up to ten (10) school days, to complete make-up work. Principals or designee may grant extensions to the make-up time limit for extenuating circumstances.
