Weekend Update 9/12/21

 Dear Families, 

Our first week of the 2021-2022 school year is officially in the books!  It was great to see our excited students all together again.  I truly believe it is going to be a wonderful school year for our students and our Stonehedge community!

Open House

Our Stonehedge Open House will be held Tuesday, September 14.  Per guidance regarding indoor mass gatherings from the Onondaga County Health Department and our desire to keep families safe, we will be conducting our Curriculum Night virtually.  Teachers have sent zoom links to each family in his/her classroom.  Meetings for K-2 will be 6:00-6:30 pm and grades 3-4 will be from 6:30-7:00.  Please contact your teacher with questions. Information regarding Title 1 services and our Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) will be emailed on Tuesday. 

Arrival and Dismissal Adjustments

Thank you for your continued support as we work to make arrival and dismissal a smooth operation. We are hopeful the updates below will aid in this effort and we appreciate your attention to these protocols. Some of these changes may only be temporary as we work with the District Office for more long-term solutions.

The following changes will take effect on MONDAY, SEPT 13, 2021:

Morning Drop Off:

• Temporarily, at 8:45 AM we will bring students from the front loop into the cafeteria. Please be sure your student has a book to read or something independent to do. Students will report to classrooms at 9:00am.
• The building officially opens to bussers and self-transport vehicles at 9:00am.
• At 9:00 am drop off for KINDERGARTEN students (and their siblings) will take place at door 18, the side K entrance (as if you’re driving to the District Office).  All other cars will drive through the front loop where students in grades 1-4 will be unloaded.
• If you arrive after 9:10 AM, please bring your child to the Main Office (door #1) to sign them in.

Afternoon Dismissal

Car Dismissal/self transportation will be staggered by car tags as follows (PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO ADHERE TO YOUR DESIGNATED TIME):

Car tags #1-50 at 3:00pm

Car tags #51-100 at 3:05pm

Car tags #100 and above at 3:10

• If you plan to pick up at least once a week, you’ll need a car tag. Please contact the Main Office at (315) 487-4633 to do so.
• If pick up is only occasional, send a note to your child’s teacher indicating the person who will be picking up.
• Pick up for Grades K-1 (and their siblings) will take place at door 18, at the side K entrance (as if you’re driving to the District Office). NOTICE the different location for Grade 1 dismissal.
• Pick up for Grades 2-4 will take place in the back parking lot. NO CARS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE FRONT LOOP OF THE SCHOOL once buses begin arriving at Stonehedge.
• Bus Dismissal will begin at approximately 3:20pm.
