Updates for Stilwell Junior High School Families
March 3, 2024
Message from Principal Kuhnert
We hope this message finds you well as we are close to Spring Break. As we continue to navigate the challenges and joys of the academic journey, we invite you to become an integral part of our school community by getting involved with the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO).
Our next PTO meeting is scheduled for March 19, 2024, at 12:30 pm, and we encourage each and every one of you to attend. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to come together, share ideas, and contribute to the vibrant and nurturing environment we strive to create at Stilwell Junior High.
Here are a few reasons why your participation in the PTO meeting is so valuable:
Community Building: The PTO serves as a bridge between parents, teachers, and school administration. Your involvement helps strengthen the sense of community within our school.
Parental Insight: PTO meetings provide a platform for you to gain insight into the happenings at school, upcoming events, and educational initiatives. Stay informed and be part of the decision-making process.
Collaborative Planning: By participating in the PTO, you have the opportunity to contribute to the planning and execution of various school events, fundraisers, and projects. Your input is essential in making these initiatives successful.
Supporting Our Students: Your involvement directly impacts the well-being and educational experience of our students. Whether it's assisting with school activities or fundraising efforts, your contribution makes a difference.
Please mark your calendars for March 19, 2024, at 12:30 pm, and join us for the PTO meeting. Your presence and active participation will undoubtedly enhance the educational journey for all our students.
We look forward to seeing you there and working together to make [School Name] an even better place for our children. The meeting will be virtual and here are the details to join us.

School Committees
Still asking students to be members of our equity team for Stilwell and work in focus groups to support the DEI work in the building.
PBIS-
The Stilwell PBIS store is looking for donations to help keep our store up and running! The PBIS store is a place where students spend their PBIS points that they earn for good behavior on fun school supplies, snacks and WDM apparel. Please check out our Amazon wish list if you are interested in helping out! Thank you. https://a.co/epEwzWK
Tier 1-
Continued focus on all the factors to have a successful end of the year for all students. Parents, please keep an eye on your student's attendance and grades and work with teachers to support any concerns you have.
Student and Staff Wellness-
The committee discussed how to continue to improve staff and student relationships and a place of belonging. We continued to create and discuss lessons for the SEL learning on Wednesday Tiger Times. We managed and adjusted our SEL lessons for student learning and enriched conversations around topics like managing stress and anxiety.
