Hello Trailblazers!

We had another excellent week on campus with our Back to School Night event for 2nd-5th grade and our APEX Fundraising program. Our APEX program will continue next week and end on Thursday, September 5th with our Fun Run activity. We need your help for this event! We are looking for 5 parents from each class to volunteer. Please reach out to your teacher if you are interested.

Fun Run Schedule:

TK-1st Grade: 8-8:45 am

2nd-3rd Grade: 9-9:45 am

4th-5th Grade: 10:45-11:30 am

Parents are also welcome to come and watch their child during their running time slot. We will have tables outside of the playground gate for you to sign in. As a reminder, all visitors must wear their visitor name badge.

Lastly, I am wishing each of you a wonderful extended weekend. As a reminder, the school is closed on Monday, September 2nd in observance of the Labor Day Holiday.

Warmly,

Teri Heard

Your Very Proud Principal

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Back to School Night Events. We are grateful for your partnership in your child's educational journey.

There's a new challenge for our APEX program. Please watch this video for a message from Jurassic Jake to learn more!

We hope you had a wonderful summer and that Day 1 back to school was fun; we saw a lot of smiling and excited faces on campus this morning!

Speaking of smiles, please share your favorite 3-4 pictures of your child and their friends headed to the first day of school for potential publication in the annual yearbook.

The dropbox link is below and will close one week from today (the 28th at midnight). First Day of School

The Yearbook Staff is 100% volunteer run and would appreciate your help! If you're interested in donating some of your time to collect pictures and design collages capturing our school-year memories, please email us at StoneRanchYearbook@gmail.com and let us know your interest. Thank you in advance for your generosity with your time!

Cub Scout Pack 687 is looking for more members. Please check out the flyer for more information.

Please share in your weekly newsletter: Our district’s Caring Connections Parent Education website has new and exciting courses being offered this Fall. Each term we have different parent education courses, therefore, feel free to periodically check the website at the beginning of each term for the new courses offered to parents, families, and our school community. Beginning next week, click HERE to view the PUSD CCC Parent Education Fall Courses

Safety for our students is our number one priority at Stone Ranch. Please follow staff directions when entering and exiting the bus or staff parking loops. Parents, please pull ALL the way forward in the traffic circles. When you stop in the middle of the lane to let a child in the car, the line backs up into the street creating a safety hazard. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to keep the drop off and pick up process smooth and safe!

As a reminder, there is plenty of parking at the lot near the Boys and Girls club and it is a short and hassle free walk to campus.

If you could change the sky any color, what color would you choose?
