Dear Stephens Elementary Families,
We hope you are having a wonderful week! As we prepare for tomorrow, we want to share a few important updates and reminders with you:
HIVE Time Launch: We will start our day with HIVE Time! During this time, students will connect with positive adult mentors from around our building to participate in fun goal-setting activities and establish their own student-driven MAP goals. Be sure to talk to your students at home about this amazing experience and join them in their journey setting high expectations and working to meet those goals.
Halloween Celebrations: Halloween activities will be taking place at different times throughout the day after lunches based on grade-level preferences. If your child is participating, please ensure they dress appropriately for both the classroom and the bus ride. For safety reasons, no weapons, masks, excessive gore, face paint, or any unsafe accessories are permitted.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Mark your calendars! Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place on November 4th and November 10th. Your child's teacher has either already shared or will soon be sending more detailed information regarding scheduling.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support in making Stephens Elementary a fantastic place to learn and grow!
Warm regards,
Eric Blankenship
Principal Stephens Elementary

Dear Stinger Families:
As we work together to ensure a smooth, efficient, and above all, safe arrival and dismissal process each day, we ask for your full partnership in following our car rider line protocols. The safety of our students, families, and staff depends on every driver staying alert and patient.
Please review the following essential safety rules with anyone who may drop off or pick up your child:
Hands-Free Phone Zone: Cell phone use (including texting, hands-free calls, and browsing) is strictly prohibited while driving in the pickup and drop-off loop. Distractions happen in a fraction of a second, and our top priority must be the children moving around your vehicle.
Respect Crosswalks and Staff Directions: Always yield to pedestrians in designated crosswalks. Please leave space for pedestrians to cross. Do not pull forward until it is safe to proceed before driving through crosswalk areas.
Bus Lane Rules: Buses require extra space and clear visibility. Never pass a school bus that has its stop arm extended or red lights flashing, and keep the designated bus loading zones clear at all times. Please leave space in the afternoons for the buses to exit first.
Buckled Until a Complete Stop: All students must remain properly buckled in their seats—and adults must stay seated as well—until the vehicle has come to a complete stop in the designated loading/unloading area and a staff member directs them to exit or enter. Unbuckling early or hanging out of windows/sunroofs poses a severe safety risk.
We appreciate your cooperation, patience, and commitment to setting a great example for our students. By working together, we can ensure every child arrives and returns home safely each day.
Thank you for your continued support!
