DESSA Screener/Assessment
Families, please reference the email sent from Stafford County Public Schools on August 28, 2026. The subject line was "Stafford Schools to Administer DESSA Assessment". Poole MS will administer the screener on September 29th. Parents may opt-out their student from participation. If you would like to do so, please complete the DESSA Opt-Out Form, only if you wish to opt your child out.
All-County Chorus
Chorus All County Auditions are on September 19th at Dixon - Smith Middle School. Please contact Ms. Rivera at riveraad@staffordschools.net if you have not gotten information on the audition and would like to participate.
Model United Nations
Is your child interested in participating in Model United Nations? There are still some spots available! The registration form that was sent to all students' emails on August 31st has been reopened or email defiorewoodar@staffordschools.net to have it resent.
Lunch Delivery Reminder
This is a reminder that students are NOT allowed to use any food delivery services (DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats, etc.) If a parent would like to drop of any food, they should have a prior discussion with their child so they know to come to the office, during their lunch shift, for pick up. Food drop offs will only be received during the students' lunch time. Our front office staff will NOT deliver food items to students. In addition, students will not be allowed to take food back to class. Thanks for your understanding.
