November, 2016 Newsletter

Dear Family,

We hope your first few months of Kindergarten have been joyous and pleasant. We want to thank you again for your support at school and home. The students are really grasping the many Kindergarten expectations we have set for them. This would not be possible without your help and support.

Thank you for your reinforcement with your child’s homework. Your extra help at home certainly shows in school.

It is hard to believe that the First Trimester will end on November 4, 2016.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

On behalf of the teachers at Stephens School, we would like to extend our appreciation for the opportunity to conference with each of you. It is truly a privilege to work with your child and share his/her academic and social achievements. If you are unable to attend your scheduled conference appointment, please contact the school office and we will gladly arrange another meeting time. Also, please remember that at all times, we extend an open invitation for parents to meet with teachers and school staff. We deeply value communication between home and school.

Stephens School is selling Stephens School t-shirts for $10, pullover sweatshirts for $25 and zipper sweatshirts for $30 (zipper sweatshirts need to be ordered). Please stop by the Stephens School office if you wish to purchase a t-shirt orsweatshirt for your child.
