Welcome to Stillwater Elementary! Our school year is off to a great start, and we are excited for the
opportunities ahead. Our primary focus this year is to create a school environment that prepares
and inspires students to take that next academic step in their lives. Upon exiting from Stillwater, we
expect that every child is ready and excited to take on the new challenges that they will face at the
next level. We establish high, concrete goals and the expectation that all students will meet them.
Our Professional Learning Community - made up of teachers, support staff, and parents - is critical
to the success of this vision. I believe the teachers and staff at Stillwater are exceptional, and I'm
proud of their dedication to developing and nurturing young minds. They are committed to the
belief that every child has the potential to thrive academically,
and they are devoted to serving the needs of our students. At
Stillwater, our actions as educators are guided by 4 critical
questions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
What do we want students to learn?
How will we know if they have learned it?
What will we do if they don't?
What will we do if they walk into the room knowing it?
We value collaboration and team work, and we are committed
to ensuring that the curriculum at Stillwater is in alignment with
the Common Core State Standards. Stillwater is a place where
learning and growth happens for students and teachers alike A place where teachers are equally apt to find opportunities to improve the quality of their
instruction through the review and analysis of results and performance. We are committed to
professional development and to the alignment of our staff development with the four critical
questions of a professional learning community. It is this focus that guides our efforts to ensure
students are provided with the opportunity to succeed and excel.
Stillwater Elementary works as a team. From the classroom, to the office, to the lunch room, to
extended day programs, and to our custodial staff, their commitment makes our school not only
function efficiently, but makes us feel like a family. We receive enormous support from the
community in the form of volunteers, and the PTSA is vital with funding special projects and fun
family events. Stillwater is a great place for kids where our students develop a love for learning and
acquire the skills necessary for future success.
Sincerely,

Student Safety
Join PTSA!
Student safety is a high priority. As you
become a part of the Stillwater
community, we will alert you of the safe
driving rules we strongly enforce. We
want all of our students to arrive at school
and depart at the end of the day in a safe
manner.
One way for parents to become involved
at Stillwater is to join PTSA. For only
$10.00 per individual or $18.00 per
family, PTSA members help to make a
difference for our students. Many
entertaining activities happen throughout
the year such as skating parties, an ice
cream social, and a sock-hop.
We take other safety precautions as well.
Practiced fire and earthquake drills help
keep us on our toes in case of
emergency. We have a lockdown
procedure in place. Thanks to PTSA we
have an emergency preparedness
container to help us through a major
disaster. We hope we never have to use
it, but are prepared just in case.
Just as important, PTSA supports
Stillwater financially. By having
fundraisers, PTSA is able to purchase
teacher supplies, playground equipment,
field trip transportation, computers,
assemblies, and many other items not
always affordable in the school budget.
