Principal’s Message

Thank you to all of our families who attended Back to School Night this week. We enjoyed giving you a little peek into our school. I hope you enjoyed meeting your children’s teachers and learning more about what the year will look like. We are looking forward to a great year. 

I visited homerooms to read our One School One Book, One Word for Kids. The story discusses how one word can be the inspiration for the “best year ever.” Please ask your child about their word and how they feel it will help to make this the best year ever! 

Next week: 4th grade PTO family game night. We need all attendees to RSVP so the PTO can provide the appropriate number of snacks. This is a great way to welcome our 4th graders and their families to Stony Brook with a fun night of play. Please sign up here.

Our first Pack Chat is scheduled for Tuesday, 9/15 from 1-1:45. Please come with questions you have about Stony Brook and be ready to share your feedback on our BTSN format. 

Picture day is coming. Please see this flyer for more information. 

Our fall MAP dates are 9/29 (Reading MAP) and 9/30 (Math MAP). Please be sure to send your students to school with charged Chromebooks. A reminder will be sent out before the assessment.

Have a wonderful weekend. We will see you next week. 

Parent Drop Off and Pick Up I need your help! Once you have dropped your student off, please exit the line so that we can keep all cars moving and get our students in the school as efficiently as possible. Once the buses have exited the front parking lot, cars can pull into the front lot, but must park parallel along the sidewalk. Please DO NOT pull up facing the building. Cars can pull up toward the front entrance, let their student exit on the sidewalk, and then pull forward and out. We have seen far too many close calls with potential accidents recently. Thank you very much for your assistance.
