Principal's Message

Storm community-
It is hard to believe that we have bid farewell to 2011 and just about completed the first semester of the school year. A new year and a new semester always provide so many great opportunities. We get the chance to continue the actions and work that are on course and the chance to change the things that don’t seem to be working. As principal, I enjoy having the opportunity to analyze the goals we have set here at Stahl. We are reaching some of the goals we have set and we have some work to do on others. One set of goals we use is from the school’s Continual School Improvement Plan (CSIP.) These goals are set based on the School Board goals for the district:

• Increase student performance on the MSP. (Board Goals 1,4)

• Decrease the percentage of failing grades recorded each semester. (Board Goals 1,4)

• Increase the percentage of 9th graders going to high school with 6 credits. (Board Goals 1,4)

• Increase parent/teacher/student communication. (Board Goal 3)

As a staff, we are committed to these CSIP goals. If you would like any more information about these goals or have questions
on how you can help support these goals with your own students, please get in touch with us.

Here’s to an amazing 2012!

     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.
