Everyone looked so nice today for school pictures that we decided on an impromptu parade outside in the glorious sunshine. Well, the Fire Alarm system really made that decision for us, but in an effort to model flexibility and patience, we are choosing to consider it a parade #SBtheCHANGE. We were happy to see our friends from both the Fire and Police Departments; we just weren't expecting it when we started the day or when we scheduled School Pictures in the first place. The folks from O'Connor studio were also very flexible even though they did not plan on spending as much time with us today either. The Fire department determined it was a faulty sensor and allowed us all to go back inside...much to everyone's dismay as the additional opportunity to commune with nature was not disappointing any of us.
Hopefully, you were able to read the Challenge Success memo that was sent out yesterday. The embedded link to their website will help direct you if you are looking for more information. If you missed the memo, it is posted on our website. We are planning to conduct the surveys over the course of one of our 6-day cycles in October. Students at Stony Brook will be able to participate in the survey during one of their Health classes. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Next Thursday night, September 22, we will be holding our 7th & 8th grade Curriculum Night here at Stony Brook starting at 6:00. Students will be creating copies of their schedules for parents to use during the evening. The plan is that they will bring home a copy for you to have...let's see how that plays out. We will have back-ups here if the piece of paper magically disappears between 9 Farmer Way and your residence :?)
If you would like to see a rough copy of the evening schedule, you can access them here (please note each grade is following a different schedule and the 6th grade night is on September 29): SB Curriculum Night Schedules
It was a long week with five full days, but we made it! Get some rest this weekend and encourage your kids to do so, as well. Apparently, the plan is to continue with five full days for quite a while.
We have a number of community announcements and upcoming events listed below; please take some time to read them and consider participating.
Have a great weekend,
Chris
