Looking Ahead to the New School Year!

Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! I trust that everyone had a relaxing summer and spent quality time with friends and family.  On behalf of the Stoney Creek Public School teaching and support staff,  I would like to extend a very special welcome to all those families who have children registering at Stoney Creek for the first time in Junior or Senior Kindergarten and to all the new students who are joining our classes in other grades.  We are very much looking forward to meeting you and having you involved in our greater school community.  We’d also like to welcome back all of our currently registered families as we start an exciting new year. 

I am looking forward to my first year as Principal at Stoney Creek and working with you as partners in your child’s education to make this a very productive and successful year. Providing a first rate academic program in an environment that is safe and friendly is what this school prides itself on.  We invite your participation in our school activities and your help to build on the many wonderful attributes that we currently enjoy at the school.  We encourage those parents that are new to our school community to become involved in our School Council meetings and initiatives. Our first School Council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 10th at 6:30 p.m. in our school library. All parents are welcome to attend. I am certain that you will feel welcome at the monthly meetings and any volunteering you can do on behalf of our parent group would be greatly appreciated by all. 

We would like to welcome several new staff members to Stoney Creek Public School.  This information is posted on our School Web Site in the drop down column listed 'classes', please click on the link 'school organization' to view the specific teacher assignments for the 2014-15 school year.

During the first week of every month, you can expect to view our school newsletter on our web site which will give you information about school programs, extra curricular activities, school policies and general information about current issues.

I look forward to meeting as many families as possible at our “Meet the Staff” Night which is Thursday, September 18th.  At this time there will be a 'kick off' of our 'Vision, Mission, Values' statement for our School Community. Please feel free to drop by and introduce yourself.

A huge thank you to all of the families who volunteered their time over the summer to water the plants in our Outdoor Classroom. We anticipate classrooms utilizing this learning space on a regular basis.

Our first day procedures for all students will be posted the week before school starts in the Principal's Blog. 

Once again, welcome back! We are looking forward to a most exciting school year.  

Ms. C. Kissau
