Principal’s Message


I am so happy to share that we recognized our first group of Husky Hall of Famers today.  These students were described as kind, respectful, and hard-working. Their positive attitudes were also mentioned, as well as how willing they are to reach out and help those around them. I reminded our students that our core values help them in their decision-making each and every day. These values help us choose our words carefully and make sure our actions demonstrate respect in all aspects of our day. I also let our students know that these values go hand-in-hand.  If you aren’t respecting yourself, it is hard to show respect for others and our school. If you aren’t showing respect to others, you can’t show respect to our school. I am so proud of these students! 



Our fall MAP dates are 9/29 (Reading MAP), 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. Please remember this is a great way for our staff to understand student needs, as well as readiness for upcoming skills. Please encourage your student to take their time and make them, you, and us proud of their performance. 



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





 
 
School Reminders

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.  

Dismissal Changes Please be sure to share changes to dismissal information with both your student’s homeroom teacher and SBSoffice@branchburg.k12.nj.us. This ensures that all students are dismissed correctly and allows us to ensure student safety. All absences, tardies, and early dismissals should continue to be entered in Genesis. 

Spirit Day Every Friday is Spirit Day!  Please have your child wear spiritwear or school colors - blue and white!

Sneakers

Sneakers are needed each day for recess.  My recommendation is for our students to wear sneakers every day. If they choose to wear other footwear, please be sure that they bring a pair of sneakers with them to school each day. Alternate activities will be used for students who do not have the correct shoes on.

PTO & BEF

Please support our amazing PTO (Branchburg PTO) and BEF.  With their support, we can accomplish amazing things at Stony Brook. Please visit our website via this link for the latest updates from the BEF on their efforts to support our district.
