PRINCIPAL’S CORNER
We are off to a great start in
our school year! We would like to welcome all of our new families to Stevenson and our new staff. Every year we look to make our school an even
better place for your child/children.
We have implemented some changes to our lunch and recess. We now have two teachers supervising our lunchroom in addition to a paraprofessional in order to make lunch a positive experience. At recess, we are training our staff in organized outdoor games. We were awarded a grant which will provide the equipment and training. We are hoping to model and strengthen students’ social skills in these areas of our school and are excited about these positive changes.
What’s cool in our school
This year all classrooms are implementing Number Talks as part of their math instruction. Number Talks bring out students’ thinking and their strategies for solving problems mentally.
(example of a 2nd grade Number Talk)
This builds conceptual understanding and recognizes how students think differently, as well as benefit from other’s ideas.
Below are some of the great ways of knowing about upcoming events, opportunities for your child as well as what’s been going on at school and how we can work together for a great learning year:
1. “Friend Us” on Facebook Page at Stevenson Elementary
2. Watch our Monday morning broadcast on YouTube (https://youtu.be/3XpMyCCeRF4)
3. Review the “Wednesday Folder” that will be sent home each week. By signing the Wednesday folder every week, it will indicate to the teacher that you have reviewed all informational material sent home.
“It takes a VILLAGE to raise a CHILD”.
Keep the communication open!
TOGETHER we can
ACHIEVE GREATNESS!
4. Campus Messenger enables Stevenson to send out telephone and/or email messages to all parents through one phone call. It is very important to keep your phone numbers and email updated.
5. Lee Carlson Counseling Center is providing therapy during the school day at Stevenson. For more information, please contact our school Counselor, Christa Sanders at
