Welcome Back!

I hope everyone is enjoying these last few weeks of the summer season.  You know when there is talk of the New York State Fair that the start of school is just around the corner! 

Please be on the look out for our annual August school mailing. You will find many tidbits of information that you will need to prepare for the opening of the 2011-2012 school year. Verify parent emergency contact information and return that pink paper \ with your child on the first day of school. If busing information is incorrect, contact the main office immediately at 487-4633 so that adjustments can be made prior to the first day of school.  

Kindergarten Orientation will be held this Thursday, August 25.  Notices have been mailed with specific times for each kindergarten session. This is an awesome day for our newest members of our Stonehedge family.

Visit your Classroom has been set for September 6, 4:30-5:30.  Feel free to visit the school to locate your child’s classroom.  If you wish to bring new school supplies students may leave them in their locker as many teachers will not be here for this event.  I hope to see you there!

Sign-Up to Receive Electronic Newsletters and Other Direct Communications School News Notifier (SNN) is an opt-in alert system where parents can sign up to receive text alerts about school closings, delays, and other time-sensitive emergencies; and e-mail notices about school programs and district news. Parents and community members can choose to receive any or all of the alerts, and they can unsubscribe at any time. This is INCREDIBLE! I highly recommend signing up for this communication tool at: https://snn.neric.org/wgenesee/.

It’s also time for students to start establishing that school routine.  Reading each night, reviewing sight words and math facts, and  revisiting that earlier bedtime would be a good idea in preparation for the first day of school.

I am excited to start the school year and look forward to seeing many of you at one or all of the upcoming events.
