Stonehedge Elementary

Dear Stonehedge Families,

It sure has been exciting here at Stonehedge. Last week was the GRAND OPENING of our Music and Art Suite. The students were so excited (the art and music teachers were, too)! We'll take tour of the space at the next PTA meeting. Last week was also Stonehedge Spirit Week. You must check out the adorable pictures below. I think "Read My Shirt" day was my favorite. I especially loved celebrating reading with first grade while they read one another's shirts. Stay warm and enjoy the week!

All my best,

Amanda

Dear Stonehedge Families,

It has been so exciting to see our students’ joyful faces return this New Year. The first weeks back to school bring a level of excitement and renewal. The halls are filled with art work and writing from the students sharing their hopes and dreams for 2026.

Throughout the building, teachers are using the New Year as an opportunity to help students set goals, personal and academic. Students reflecting on areas they want to grow and enhance within themselves. This month we've also been reviewing classroom and schoolwide expectations, helping students remember what it means to be respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. These conversations help ensure that everyone feels safe, supported, and prepared for success.

We are excited to share that the Art and Music Suite is nearly complete. Teachers will be spending time this week and next moving getting moved in. We hope our students attend Art and Music classes in the new spaces by the end of the month. Wait until you see the spaces! They are gorgeous.

Here’s to a our students and a year filled with love and growth.

All my best,

Amanda

Dear Stonehedge Families,

We've made it to one of the most exciting stretches of the school year - the week before winter break! Energy is high, our halls are filled with anticipation, and our students are working hard to finish 2025 on a strong note. Before we head off on a well-deserved rest, I want to share a few updates and reminders.

Celebrating Learning: Even in a busy season, our students continue to impress us with their focus and growth. Teachers are working hard to assess progress and help students reflect on their goals. It has been wonderful to see students take pride in how far they have come since September. While this week will be exciting, we'll remain focused on learning while we enjoy some winter activities. Please know every day in school counts and we ask you keep consistent with attendance this week.

Looking Ahead: As we ring in the New Year, we'll focus on school community and reestablishing our positive behavior expectations and routines. Please support us at home by reinforcing our school expectations of being respectful, responsible and safe in all settings. After a long break, consistent routines and expectations at home and school go along way in supporting students.

Finally, I want to express my gratitude. Thank you for sharing your children with us each and every day. Their energy, curiosity, and kindness brings our building to life. Thank you for the way you support our staff, partner with us, and contribute to the warm, caring community that makes Stonehedge such a special place.

I hope winter break gives your family time to rest, reconnect and enjoy the season in ways that matter to you.

Stay warm, stay safe, and I look forwarding to seeing you in the New Year!

Warmly,

Amanda
