Principal’s Message

Attention Stockton!!!!!

We have officially entered the LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL!!! I cannot believe we are here already. With that being said, all excitement aside, let’s finish this year with a bang! We have several testing dates left and need students to remain focused and motivated. Teachers have worked extremely hard to equip our students with the knowledge they need to soar through the end of year testing. Please check out the helpful testing tips below and read through the entire newsletter to stay up to date on events around campus!

Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)

All 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will participate in taking the Florida Standards Assessment this month.  Our students and teachers have been working hard all year and now it is time toorking hard all year and now it is time to show what they have learned.  There are a few things we would like to remind students and families of as we begin testing.

•        Please make sure that your child is in attendance each day of testing. Students will do better in an environment that they are familiar with.

•        Make sure students are at school by 8:25am each of the testing days in order to ensure they will be here in time for the start of testing.  If they are tardy, they will wait in the office and have to participate in a make-up session.

•        Make sure students go to bed on time and get a good night’s rest.  Breakfast is also important, but is offered at school.  If your child does not eat breakfast at school, please make sure they do eat a healthy breakfast at home.

•        Encourage your child to do their best!  Writing them a special note is a great way for them to carry the encouragement with them.
