Stonybrook Red Storm Forecast

March 22, 2021

From Principal Smith

Dear Stonybrook parents and caregivers,

Spring break has been modified this year from two weeks to one. It is the week of March 29

Students return from spring break on April 5th.

We are eagerly planning for annual ILEARN testing scheduled to occur in the State of Indiana beginning the week of April 19. Indiana Learning Evaluation Assessment Readiness Network (ILEARN) measures student achievement and growth according to Indiana Academic Standards. ILEARN is the summative accountability assessment for Indiana students and assesses the following at the middle level:

English/Language Arts (ELA) (Grades 5-8)
Mathematics (Grades 5-8)
Social Studies (Grade 5)
Science (Grade 6)

Students that receive instruction virtually must participate in ILEARN testing in person. Students may participate at their home school during the regular school day or on select Saturdays. Regardless, students would be fed both breakfast and lunch, and would be testing with only virtual students. ILEARN dates and times will be shared with you soon.

Have a wonderful week!

Mr. Smith

If your child is going to be absent from school

I would like to remind our students and families that attendance may look different depending on your model. That being said, attendance is an expectation and a critical indicator of a student's success in school.

School District Publications/News Media Use

The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or Stonybrook. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify our office in writing that you do not want this type of information released
