Dear Stony Brook and Eddy Elementary School Families:

We are very excited to welcome back students and families to the 2021-22 school year. We look forward to a safe, healthy, and productive year ahead as we strive toward excellence in learning in these unique circumstances.

Both the Stony Brook and the Eddy Elementary School staff are devoted to helping each and every child reach their full potential. We believe that every child matters. We also believe that every child should have the opportunity to be safe, to reach academic proficiency and to grow personally and socially through meaningful and relevant experiences. It is our goal to help every child develop a lifelong passion for learning and prepare them for bright, engaging futures.

Our Parent/Student Handbook is designed to serve as a resource to you and your child when searching for different information about policies and procedures at our schools. We consider it to be one important method of communication, but we also encourage parents to call with any other questions. The second document that is of vital importance this year is the Nauset Blueprint. If you cannot find the answers you need in either of these documents, please call the school office and we will be glad to assist you. We are all partners in education, and together we make a difference.

As we begin the year, please know that communication between home and school is essential. Our handbook will continue to be accessible online as well as the Nauset Blueprint. We will also make available our monthly newsletter and the Lunch/Breakfast menu. In addition, we will send home notices or other information electronically as much as possible. Please let the office know if you would prefer a hard copy of any of these items. Again, we wish all families and students the best for an outstanding school year. We look forward to working with all parents, students, and staff to make this year successful and rewarding.

Sincerely,

Keith Gauley, Eddy & Stony Brook Schools Principal

Allyson Joy, Eddy & Stony Brook Schools Assistant Principal
