Notes from Principal Simmons: Weekend Update Sept 24

Happy Friday, Stonehedge. Can you believe October is almost here? I hope you have noticed arrival and dismissal have gotten a bit more smooth each day. The district is continuing to develop a long term plan to assist with the congestions between STE and WGMS's dismissals. Just a reminder about dismissal procedures. PLEASE help us and abide by your car pick up time.
