Stuart Elementary

The welcoming team was all smiles this morning. We are so glad to welcome students to their Reconnection Day! #loveyourpeople #ccsrowtheboat

Welcome back, Bulldogs... We can't believe that it's time to start school next week!

Just a reminder... All returning students should have registered. If you have not please do so, by TOMORROW, July 23. Simply go to ccs.powerschool.com and use the login information you entered last year. If you do not remember your information, you can contact the school 423-476-8246 or email pshelp@clevelandschools.org. Spanish-speaking families can contact Maria Herrero at (423) 228-0106, Monday-Friday, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. If you have registered, you are welcome to attend our "Meet the Teacher Night" on Monday, August 2, from 5-7pm for grades 1st-5th. Our kindergarten families will have an English-speaking meeting at 5pm and a Spanish-speaking meeting at 6pm. If you have any questions or need assistance, we are here for you. Simply reach out to us. We cannot wait to see everyone again on August 2nd, and remember we need your online registration completed by TOMORROW. Thank you & have a good afternoon, Mrs. Shelton

Families who have registered online by JULY 23rd... We cannot wait to see you in a few weeks! Meet the Teacher Night will be drop-in from 5-7pm on August 2nd. Parents who have registered online will be allowed to come to the classrooms to drop off supplies, materials fees ($25 for materials & $10 for class shirt), meet the staff and tour the building. We will give out car tags and important information in printed form (both Spanish and English). This is not a sit-down Parent Meeting, nor is it a registration night. It is simply a Meet and Greet. You should register online no later than JULY 23rd (continue reading for details about registration help and those who do not have technological devices). Online registration opened on July 7th for returning students who finished the year with us in May 2021. An email was sent to the address used to register/enroll last year. (This is the same email used to log into your Powerschool account to see your child's grades and attendance.) New students, such as incoming kindergarteners, or those who did not end the school year with us, must complete the New Student Enrollment at www.clevelandschools.org/enrollment. If you are having difficulty registering online, email: pshelp@clevelandschools.org. For Spanish-speaking families who need assistance, contact Maria Herrero at (423) 228-0106. If you do not have a smartphone or technology device, contact Janice Blair at (423) 472-9571, ext. 2002. Class placements for grades 1-5 were sent home with the students in May. However, your child is not officially placed in a class until families complete the online registration. It should be completed no later than JULY 23rd. Newly enrolled students will receive a call or mailed letter with information about class placements. Returning students were initially placed in classes and letters/supply lists were sent home in May, stating who your child's teacher will be. However, returning students can only remain on rosters if they are REGISTERED online. Kindergarteners who have enrolled online will meet both Kindergarten teachers on August 2nd, and will come on the designated Reconnection Days (see the calendar for details) as a group. They will be divided into classes on Friday, August 6th. We look forward to seeing all those who have registered/enrolled on August 2! Mrs. Shelton Principal, George R. Stuart Elementary

Stuart’s summer office is set up and ready! We hope to be back in our building by late-July after the floor remodel is complete. Until then, if you need to contact the school, please call 423-476-8246, or email rshelton@clevelandschools.org Check out our social media feeds or visit www.clevelandschools.org/stuart for information. Note: There are several days that Mrs. Jennifer and I are not in the remote office this summer due to vacations, meetings, and my oldest son is getting married....Yay! Email is the best means of communication. We will get back with you, as soon as we can. Any items left at school by students will be available for pick up the first week of August. All students’ grades can be viewed in the Powerschool app where you view attendance. See you in August! Mrs. Shelton

Tomorrow is our last day of school for the 2020/21 school year. Buses will run and breakfast will be served. The school day starts at 8:15. Car riders will be dismissed at 11:00am and buses around 11:20. The Boys & Girls Club van will not run tomorrow.

What a beautiful day to celebrate the end of the year with our Kindergarten families! #grs2021

One of our FAVORITE days in third grade... the day when the Noon Day Rotary delivers dictionaries!!! ❤️ @clevelandrotary

This morning at Stuart Elementary an electric paper towel dispenser in our K-2 wing created a small fire in the restroom area. Proper protocols were followed and students and staff all safely exited the building as designed in our fire safety plan. There is no ongoing issue at Stuart and we are continuing with the school day. We appreciate the Cleveland Fire Department for their quick response to keep us all safe.

Kindergartener, first and second grade families... As a part of our #Reading360 initiative, we are excited to announce that the At-Home Decodable Reading Series is now available for free for all Tennessee families with K-2 children to use at home to practice reading. Order your set today and practice reading these fun stories with your kids! #TNDecodables https://www.tn.gov/education/news/2021/5/12/free-reading-resources-now-available-for-all-tennessee-families-of-k-2-children.html

What a great day to celebrate... the end of TNReady tests with #BubbleParties at recess, perfect attendance while testing & the @clevelandhighschoolblueraiders #SeniorWalk

Thank you Chick-fil-A on Paul Huff Pkwy and the CCS Board of Education for the boxed lunches! #teacherappreciationweek #youmakeaWORLDofDIFFERENCE

Friday, April 30, was College Decision Day. Stuart staff represented their alma maters, had a visit from Rowdy Raider and the Lee University Viking, and the kindergartners dressed up for the careers they want to have someday. Our 5th graders were able to discuss the possible technical careers they want to explore when the move on to CMS, as well. It was a day full of looking to the future!

Barnes & Noble is once again excited to be offering their Summer Reading journal for students in 1st-6th grade. Students who read eight books over the summer and record them on our journal can come in and pick a FREE book out! Journals are attached to this post in English and Spanish and include the list of eligible free books to pick from! Journals can be redeemed July 1st through August 31st. (NOTE: This is not a school-support event, but we wanted to pass on the information in case your family wants to participate.)

Tomorrow we have Reading TnReady tests for 2nd-5th grade. Be sure your student gets plenty of rest and are at school around 8:00am. Some of the students will test until 11:30, so please do not check anyone out for appointments until after noon. Thank you for your support!

TNReady tests require the kiddos to do a lot of bubbling-in to show what they know, so we are going to celebrate on May 7th with a Bubble Party! Thank you, Mrs. Gowin, Mrs. Passavant and Mrs. Rodriguez for helping prep our “Bubble Party” bags, today!

S/O to these amazing young men! They are true examples of what it means to be a Stuart Bulldog! #kind #polite #considerateofothers #helpful #PAWSitiveOfficeReferrals #WeSeeYou #grs2021
