The book fair will run from September 16-20 and will be located in the ES Cafeteria. Stockton Elementary is looking for volunteers to help.

Stockton Elementary is so excited to host Grandparents Day again this school year. The celebration will occur on Friday, September 20 for grandparents of students in K-5th grades.

In Septembe we will conduct our annual safety drills that includes 3 fire drills, 1 tornado drill, and 1 lockdown drill. Your child's teacher will review procedures with the class and prepare students for the drills. Please let your child's classroom teacher or the office know if you have any questions.
