Principal's Weekly Report

Welcome to Week 34, Stone Families, Students, and Staff!

We are excited to begin Week 34 and appreciate everyone’s continued hard work and positive energy as we move through the final stretch of the school year.

Congratulations to our 8th Grade Volleyball Team on a great win during 8th Grade Night! We are proud of our athletes and their dedication. This week, both volleyball games will be away, with games scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday. We wish our team the very best as they compete.

Looking ahead, PM3 ELA testing will take place next Tuesday. It is important that students are well prepared, get a good night’s rest, and arrive to school on time. We encourage families to take advantage of our bootcamps and FAST Track Saturdays, which are designed to support student readiness and confidence.

Students are also invited to see Ms. Williams for details on the exciting “Break the Principal’s Rules” Challenge—a fun incentive you won’t want to miss!

Finally, be sure to mark your calendars for our upcoming Spring Fling. More details will be shared soon, and we look forward to celebrating together as a school community.

Thank you for all you do to support our school community. Let’s make it a great week at Stone!

Go Gophers!

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.
