ANNOUNCEMENTS
A Word from Dr. Box
Dear Stauffer Middle School Families,
We will be having a practice lockdown drill on Tuesday, December 12th, at 10:00 a.m.
Students and staff will hear an announcement that we are having a practice lockdown drill and proceed to the nearest classroom/or stay within their own classroom if it is during instruction as quickly and safely as possible.
Students and staff will then practice our lockdown safety protocols for a few minutes as school personnel walk around to check that doors are locked. We will then make an announcement that the drill is over, and instruction will resume. Please talk with your student about this practice drill. Additionally, our teachers/staff have started to talk/prep our students about the practice drill as well.
As always, we thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Allison Box
Principal
Our Marching Band, Color Guard and Cheer Team at the Downey Christmas Parade! 🎄

8th Grade Hearing and Vision Screening Dates
Hello Stauffer Families! Eighth graders will receive their vision screening next week on Monday, Dec. 11th. It is imperative that we complete these screenings to support student health. Please make sure your students are present and on time so they do not miss their screening. Thank you Spartans!
All students are required to bring their charged iPad to school everyday!
Spartans, please make sure you bring your iPads to school everyday, charged and ready to use! We have seen an increase in students asking for iPad loaners. If a student is repeatedly requesting a loaner for unexcused reasons, they will be assigned Campus Beautification.

All of our AVID students practice using "Focused Notes" not only in their AVID classes, but in every class! ALL STUDENTS can engage in focused note-taking to help them process and understand any notes from any class. See the graphic below to understand how to use The Focused Note-Taking Process.
