School Opening

Welcome First Graders and Families,


Welcome to Stoney Creek Elementary School! With the new school year starting soon the first grade team wanted to share some important information with all of our incoming students. Our fabulous team this year will consist of six first grade teachers: Ms. Snuggs, Ms. White, Ms. Samuel, Ms. Kidd, Ms. Konarski, and Ms. Barr. We are all so proud and excited to be opening this new school with you! Together we have a wonderful opportunity to make Stoney Creek a model of growth and learning.

First grade is a very important grade. You will be doing a lot of reading and writing in all subjects. You will also be working on special projects and activities in math, science, and social studies. If this all sounds like fun to you, that’s because it really is! We love getting our hands on learning and we plan to share our excitement with you! It’s not always easy though. Our whole school and first grade in particular, really wants learning to be a team effort this year between school and home. We will team up for SUCCESS!

Please plan to join us on the night of SEPTEMBER 10th for Stoney Creek’s Open House. There you will be able to meet with your child’s teacher and hear all about the first grade curriculum. Below you will find the first grade supply list. Please do not feel that you must have all these items by the first day. Items sent in any time during the first week of school will be fine.

During the first few days of school we will be conducting hearing screenings of all first grade students. The screening is free and only takes a few minutes of the student’s time. You will be notified by the nurse if there are any concerns about your child’s screening.

Once again welcome from the first grade team! We cannot wait to meet everyone and begin the new year in our new building. We are looking forward to a great first grade year!!
