The administrative team would like to offer a Dragon's Eye View of SCE. Our hope is this allows families a live view of SCE in action during a typical school day. Our first offering of this will occur on Monday, April 14, 2025 from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Please read below to find out more details. Click the button below to sign up if interested.

What’s the purpose of the Dragon’s Eye View?

• Provide SCE Families with a guided tour of SCE while the building is operating with students and staff.

• Help foster a stronger connection between families and the school.

What will you see during the Dragon’s Eye View?

• K-5 classrooms

• Special Area Classrooms

• Library

Who will take you on the guided tour?

• Building Administrators

• Counselors

Will there be a limit on how many visitors can be toured?

• Yes

• Limit will be 40 visitors

Will visitors be able to bring younger children with them?

• Adults on the tour, as we will be going in and out of classrooms that are actively learning. We want to limit the distractions for our students and staff.

Stone Creek parents and families, please take some time to complete this important parent survey linked here. You can also scan the QR code below. The survey will close April 30, 2025.

This survey was given to our families, students, and staff back in September and again this month. The survey will be facilitated by Leader In Me in partnership with the WSD. This link is unique to our building, so if you have kids in multiple schools, please check their newsletter to answer questions for that building.

Learn more about this survey and its purpose here. Find the fall results here.

The Spring House Wear Store is Open! All designs are available! Everything is available in both youth and adult sizes. All shirt designs are offered in short sleeve and long sleeve. They can also be ordered as a crew neck sweatshirt. All orders will shipped directly to your home. The Store will close on April 17.

We know that we have been dealing with late buses and weather that has probably contributed to more car traffic at drop off and pick up times. Safety is our top priority and wanted to send a few friendly reminders to help keep all students, staff, and families safe out front.

• Please pull all the way up to the last adult who is standing outside before you stop
• Please have your child exit from the passenger side (closest to the sidewalk) so they are not walking in the line of traffic.
• If your child needs assistance getting out of the car, please use our turtle lane (see map). This allows our car lane traffic to continue to flow smoothly. The turtle lane shouldn't be used due to it seeming shorter at times. Only families with turtle tags should utilize this driveway.
• Once your child has exited your car, please continue to wait in the line until it starts moving. This helps to keep children safe who are walking across the crosswalk.
• Please wait for a staff member to stop the car line traffic and escort your child across the crosswalk.
• Do not allow your child out of the car in the morning until Stone Creek staff is outside.

We greatly appreciate your help in keeping everyone safe!

Wentzville School District students in fourth through eighth grade can attend Choir Camp sponsored by The St. Charles County Choral Society.

Congratulations to Margaret Thomas for being Stone Creek's March Volunteer of the Month! Margaret will receive preferential parking in our Volunteer of the Month parking spot and a Fast Pass for the month of April. Together, our volunteers took 27 HOURS of work off of our teacher's plates for the month of March so they could spend more time with their families. We're up to an astonishing 229 hours given back to teachers for the school year! Thanks again to ALL of our volunteers for filling in the missing piece to our puzzle, we appreciate you!

If you are interested in volunteering, just ask in the front office. We would love more help!

Ask us anything! We often see questions on social media about policies and procedures at Stone Creek. We are here to help! If you have any question big or small about SCE, please ask it here. Our front office will monitor your questions and respond directly to you in a timely manner.

SCE Library is excited to introduce stationary bikes in the library to encourage movement while reading and studying. These bikes provide a fun and healthy way for students to stay active while engaging in their learning. Currently we have bikes for grades 3 - 5, but don't worry K - 2, your bikes have been ordered and are set for delivery this summer! To ensure safety and proper bike assignment, we ask for your permission and your child's height and weight details.

Safety Guidelines:

• Students must follow all rules and instructions while using the bikes.
• Bikes will be assigned based on height and weight to ensure proper fit:
• K-2 size bike: max height 50" max weight 140 lbs.
• 3-5 size bike: max height 59" max weight 140 lbs.
• Improper use of the bikes may result in loss of privileges.

3rd - 5th grade parents, please complete the form HERE. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Jurgensmeier at: kristajurgensmeier@wsdr4.org

Thank you for supporting active learning!

We are having a glow bash at SCE on April 25. More information is coming soon. Watch your teacher's newsletter and the SCE Parent Teacher Connection Facebook page.

Families at Stone Creek have several community programs available to them and we want to take a moment to share them. If any of these resources could help your family, please fill out the form below.

Throughout the duration of the academic year, the Wentzville School District partners with community agencies that specialize in providing students, families, and educators with preventative education. Agency presenters are credentialed, coordinated through the District, and under the supervision of building administrators. Presentation topics are targeted toward specific grade levels. All students will participate in each program unless you choose to opt your child out of the lesson(s). If you are interested in opting your student(s) out of the presentation(s), please click the appropriate link(s) below.

On April 8, the WSD is bringing Prop L— a zero-rate-change bond proposal—to the voters. If passed Prop L would fund items such as:

• Renovated legacy buildings such as Heritage Elementary, Wentzville Middle, and Holt High School
• Resurfaced playgrounds at all WSD elementary schools
• Replaced turf at Holt, Liberty, and Timberland high schools' athletic fields; and more

Learn how Prop L would impact our school specifically at wsdlegacy.com.
