Today, your child received a pair of glasses to watch the eclipse with on Monday, when we do not have school. These are curtesy of KBST Radio, Hotel Settles, Gregg Street Sonic, and Martin County Hospital. We have included some links here with information. Stanton is not in the path of a total eclipse, but will be in the path of a partial. Be safe and only look at the eclipse if you are wearing special glasses.

We are just under two weeks from taking our first STAAR test. Wednesday, April 10th from 11:30 - 12:00, we will have an informational session about the tests and give you an opportunity to write a note of encouragement to be placed on your child's desk before they test each day. Our students love getting these notes and knowing you are thinking of them through their test. Please plan to attend this quick meeting and bring your lunch!
Wednesday is a regular school day for Stanton Elementary. We will have regular dismissal at 3:50.
I know we are a few days early with our April 1 newsletter, but it is jam packed with information and so we wanted to go ahead and get it out. Also, a friendly reminder that all students dismiss at 1:00 tomorrow (unless have Wednesday school) and then we do not have school on Friday and Monday.

Tomorrow is our reading picnic. Those that pre-registered, submitted a DL, and it matched in our system, will receive your entry badge TODAY with your child after school. IF you have a yellow tag, you will be allowed to park and enter through the back gates closer to the MS gym side of the playground. IF you do not receive a yellow tag today, you must enter through the office and present a photo ID. All exits will be done through the back gates and not through the school. No further pre-registration is allowed at this time.

Stanton ISD will not have school on Wednesday 1-31-24 per the school calendar. Tuesday and Thursday will be regular school days and Friday we will dismiss at our regular 3:00 time.
Monday will kick off two fun challenges for students of Stanton Elementary. We are bringing back the snowball fundraiser for our activity fund. Students can bring money to buy a snowballs for 25 cents to help their class win a party. Additionally, your child will be bringing home money for the American Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association. We strongly encourage you to do all donations through their website. We will have an assembly when this challenge is over to recognize those who raise funds for this important cause. Friday will be our 100th day of school for the 23-24 school year. We hope you will join us by dressing either as an 100 year old, or a shirt or outfit to commemorate the day!
Thank you for your continued support. We raised over $400 with our "pie the administrators" to buy books for our teacher's classrooms!
