SPS Families and Staff,

We hope everyone had a spectacular and restful break. 

Welcome to an all new year and a new semester! 2025! As a child of the 80s that still sounds like the far future to me. I expected flying cars,  a moon colony, and hoverboards, but I digress.

New years are a great chance for fresh starts. The grade books are blank. Secondary students have new schedules and new electives. New students have just moved to town. It’s a chance to turn over a new leaf if needed, continue great behaviors that are working, and make the second half of the school year great!

It’s a short week, so just a few short updates follow. We’ll have a more substantive update in the next week or so from Acting Superintendent Dr. Janet Vinson.

Go Pioneers!

Brrr.
Winter has arrived, be sure to bundle the kids up appropriately. Multiple layers help kids stay comfortable outside or inside and in drafty or cozy spaces. If your child needs warm weather gear or a new pair of shoes, please let your school office know.

District leaders are watching the weather, including a possibility of some inclement weather arriving on Thursday. We’ll keep you posted on any cancellations via email, text messages (if you’ve opted in), phone calls, and on social media and Stillwaterschools.com. Please note, we do not typically reach out to say school is on. If you don’t see an update from us, please assume school is on as scheduled.

Speaking of Winter...
The SHS Junior Class officers are hosting a winter carnival with carnival-style games, a bounce house, hot chocolate, treats, and prizes. There will also be a silent auction during the event with several items and gift baskets donated from local businesses. Fun for the family, plus funds raised will be used to make this year's prom an unforgettable experience for SHS students. Join them on January 11 from 5-9pm at the SHS Student Center for a cool time.
