Stonepark Intermediate School

Hello Parents,

Since we could not have our Orientation Day at Stonepark Intermediate as planned in May, we have prepared a slideshow that includes many things that students might be wondering about, and hopefully, answer some questions.  We have also prepared a virtual (video) tour and a school supplies list – links to these are all found below.

Your child might also be wondering about a lock – Stonepark usually passed out locks during Orientation in previous years.  Again, that did not happen this year, but students will spend lots of time practicing on the first day in September, so tell them not to worry.

We look forward to meeting your child!

Please take a few minutes to enjoy our virtual closing ceremony!

It’s that time of year when we publish our final newsletter!

The Fall Education Readiness Committee was established in late May by the Department of Education and Lifelong Learning.  It is tasked with identifying pathways that could meet the needs of our system come September.  Although the timelines for our committees and sub-committees are tight, the voices of teachers, students and parents are important to the decision-making process, and we encourage you to complete the survey at:  https://forms.gle/Aq7CWZr74nzS8mfXA

by Friday, June 12, 2020.

Thank you in advance!

Mr. Stratton has made another top-shelf video, this time even including his own theme song!

It’s worth a look to watch how you can make thumbprint cookies!

On Tuesday, May 26th, families will be able to pick up (drive thru style) their child’s term 2 report card and locker contents at the school at the times listed below. If you need to make alternate arrangements, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher. If you have more than one child attending Stonepark, please choose the time that works for you. Simply enter the upper parking lot entrance and proceed around loop toward the front doors. Classroom teachers will greet you, take your child/children’s name(s) and homeroom(s) and collect the items for you, and deliver to your car trunk or backseat. Parents and students are asked to remain in your vehicle at all times. Items will already be packed up by your child’s teacher and placed in the cafeteria for quick retrieval. If you are walking to pick up your child’s belongings, please go to the gazebo and we will bring them to you there.

At the same time, we will also be collecting any school items that your child may have at home. This would include any, or all, of the following: textbooks, library books, band items (books, instruments and sweaters), classroom library books, sports team jerseys, and Hockey Academy jerseys. Your child’s teacher will have a checklist of items missing from your child’s locker.

Schedule for curbside pick-up:
9:00 – 9A & 9B
9:30 – 9C & 9E
10:00 – 9F & 9G
10:30 – 9H & 9I

In the Foods and Nutrition lab, we learn much more than cooking skills. Taking care of food storage in your home is called Food Safety. None of us want food to spoil, and go to waste. We also do not want to give our family and friends food poisoning by not preparing or storing food properly.

Below you will find links to some interesting information on Food Safety followed by a link to an “interactive website” that takes you through a typical restaurant kitchen, which shows us how to properly handle food.

If you like, try to take some time to view these videos and we’ll see you again next week, for more cooking skills from the Stonepark Foods and Nutrition Program.
