SPS Staff and Families,

We made it! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this year a success. This week has been filled with so many emotions for our students, families, and staff. Congratulations to everyone on a great year and especially to the 426 members of the Class of 2022!

Bond 2023

Our consultant Dr. Dillon was here this week meeting with groups of SHS teachers working to further understand ways to approach designing new facilities as we move into the next phase of planning.

 

Google Drive Access

Please remember to have your students download any files they may need over the summer as email and file access is turned off over the summer. You should have received a separate email with instructions about this.

 

Summer Camps

If you are still looking for summer activities for children, the Summer Camps page (https://sites.google.com/stillwaterschools.com/hub/summer-camps-2022) has links to SPS, OSU, and community camps that may still be accepting participants.

 

Book Bus

The Book Bus is rolling out on Monday! You can find a list of locations and times at https://sites.google.com/stillwaterschools.com/hub/book-bus 

 

Summer Hours

While most of our school offices are closed for the summer, please know that many district employees work over the summer completing summer projects, operating summer school and meal programs, and working to close out one school year and start the next. The district administration building is available to assist you this summer (May 23-July 28), M-Th 8-5pm. Our offices will be closed on Fridays.

 

Website Change

In mid June, the district website will be getting a facelift. The new site, which will still be www.stillwaterschools.com will be more mobile friendly and will feature built-in translation for more than 100 languages. SPS PR & Communications Coordinator Barry Fuxa is currently in the process of moving content to the new site in preparation of this launch. Existing bookmarks and links may need to be updated after the new site goes live. This change affects only the website, not our learning platforms, messaging or database systems, or portal.

 

Employment Opportunities

We would appreciate your help in promoting (or applying for) our open positions, including receptionists, secretaries, teachers, carpenter, maintenance, teacher assistants, bus drivers, coaches, and more. Interested parties can learn more and apply at https://www.stillwaterschools.com/employment.
