Principal's Message

Storm community-
As we approach the “finish line” of this school year, I want to take a moment to remind our school community of students, staff, and parents that this is the time to finish strong. We all know that a strong push to the end of the academic year can make a tremendous difference in each of our lives.

Academically, we will finish strong by completing our MSP testing requirements for this school year during May. Despite the sometimes confusing media coverage, the MSP is still a valid way to measure student progress and our school’s progress in reading, writing, math, and science.

Additionally, it is vital that we finish strong in the classroom this year. Our students and teachers have celebrated success this winter in reducing the number of failing grades earned at IPR #3 by over 35 percent as compared to the end of first semester. While I am proud of this work, I also know that the second chapter is only ten weeks away as we near the end of second semester. One of our CSIP goals is to reduce the number of Fs from first semester to second semester. Encourage your child to have excellent attendance, help ensure that they have a quiet study area/time each night, and monitor their progress using online grades (HAC).

Finally, I hope that you get a chance to see our kids finish strong in school activities, athletics, and the arts this spring. Take a moment to catch a track meet in the sun (fingers crossed!), enjoy some free time as you send your students to the Volleyball-A-Thon (June 1), Spring Carnival and Music Mania (June 8), and/or enjoy the amazing student actors in the spring play (May 17,18,19).  April, May, and June are busy and exciting times around Stahl and I encourage each of you to support, encourage, and enjoy our strong finish.

     A message from our school nurse

Adolescent Immunizations
This is a reminder for all parents of ninth graders.  There have been several new vaccines available to adolescents.  You probably have heard of them and some may already have gotten them for their child.  As of yet they are not required for your ninth grader but they are being recommended.  One of the most important ones is the T-dap.  It is a booster for adolescents between the ages of 11-18. It protects against Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis(Whooping cough).  They have actually had some outbreaks of Pertussis among teenagers this last year. I would encourage you to ask about the immunizations that are available to you during the summer break when your child is being seen for sports physicals and yearly check-ups.  If your child does receive any immunizations this summer, please let the school nurse at the high school know so that she can update your child’s record.  If you have questions or want further information on what is available, please contact me and I can give you more information.
