All returning BPS students are required to complete their back-to-school paperwork in Focus this year. This is called re-enrollment, and the process is quick and easy! Simply log into your Focus parent portal and complete the online re-enrollment paperwork. You must complete the re-enrollment process in your Focus Parent Portal for your child in order to receive their course schedule for the 24-25 school year. Please call us at 321-723-0741 or visit the Guidance Office if you need assistance with re-enrollment. Students may not begin their schedule without this completed.

Stone Magnet Middle School will not hold a rotating bell schedule for the 2024-2025 school year.

To honor the instructional learning environment, cellphones are not allowed to be used on campus at any time. Students are expected to have cellphones turned off or on silent and in their backpacks throughout the school day. Students will need to place cellphones in their backpack before entering school campus. If there is an emergency need to use a cellphone, students may go to the front office to call or text with permission.

Students were issued a school badge during registration. If you did not attend registration, please come to the front office to get your student badge. For safety and security reasons, students are required to wear their school badges at all times on campus. Replacement badges are $3.00. Student badges must be on when entering school grounds.

Students forgetting lunch and needing an outside meal dropped off will only be accepted by an individual on the student’s contact list. No food delivery services (UberEats, etc.) will be accepted. Students will not be able to take the meal on campus.

All students will receive an AVID binder with basic school supplies, a calculator and a planner. These items will be given out tomorrow, August 13th during 2nd period.

Thank you to our students for joining us for a fun day at New Student Orientation. A huge shout out to Trinity Church and Cool Yeti Shaved Ice Truck for truly making the day special with snack and free shaved ice.

BPS provides breakfast and lunch free of charge to students school every day. We still encourage parents to apply for Free or reduced (FRL) price meal benefits. Click here to fill out a FRL application: https://www.brevardschools.org/o/bps/page/free-and-reduced-lunch-applications

Families can also set up an online lunch account through the district system. Go to www.mypaymentsplus.com to create your account and add money for your student to use in our cafeteria. If you already have an account, you do not need to create another one for this year. This is a convenient way to keep lunch money in your child's account, so they do not have to carry cash to school. Your child's lunch account is connected to their student ID, so all they have to do to pay for lunch is scan their ID and go.
