Hello Stanley Families-

As we are entering into our final week of the 2012-2103 school year, I wanted to thank the PTA and all parents for another incredibly successful school year.  With your support we have been able to accomplish some remarkable things.  A few of our year's highlights include:

* An increase of 23 points on Stanley's overall API STAR scores (from 907 to 930) and significant growth in the scores of several of our significant sub groups including students with disabilities.

* Stanley's continuing and expanded support of intervention programs including extra periods of support for math and reading, homework club, and a highly qualified Health Educator.

* Our support of programs to challenge high achieving students, such as a rigorous math and hands-on science programs, Tek Trek scholarship program supporting girls in math and Science, Odyssey of The Mind, Geography and Spelling Bee, and Science Bowl Team.

* We have continued to be a leader in the implementation of Common Core, including staff training, curriculum development, and Stanley participating in the Smarter Balanced 2013 pilot test.

* Stanley becoming a 2013 Distinguished School and having the Lafayette School District's 2013 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Cooper Howard.

I am proud to be a part of such a vibrant and dynamic environment, where students are challenged and supported, and our parents and teachers work so closely to provide the expansive opportunity for so many students.  To see so many students be engaged with their learning and  who have grown so much is a true gift, and what Middle School is all about.

I look forward to seeing many of you on campus this week, and I wish you all a restful and very well deserved summer!

þ Mark your calendar - 

Is your child interested in helping serve lunch next year?  Students volunteer one day a week for approximately 20 minutes.  In return they receive a free lunch and 7 Opportunity Knocks hours per trimester. If they are interested please have them pick up an application from the front office.

Parents, are you looking for a fun way to help out at Stanley?  We are looking for parent volunteers to help serve lunch next year.  The commitment is 1 day every other week and the job takes about 45 minutes.

If you are interested, please contact Gabrielle Ohleyer at mohleyer@comcast.net or 510-326-6775.

There has been some issues with students riding the school bus with One Trip Passes ($3.00 orange passes). This is a liability for Lamorinda Bus, for students and for the schools and districts. Each bus pass is suppose to be filled out, signed and dated by a parent. This rule is written on the back side of each bus pass. Drivers have been instructed not to transport students with blank bus passes. If you wish your child to purchase a same day bus pass please send a note with your child to the office giving your permission for them to do so along with the following information: date, name, address, grade, emergency phone#, bus stop, school and route and parent signature. If you have any questions, please contact Lamorinda Bus at 299-3216.
