Stimson Spotlights

It has been a truly eventful week at Stimson Middle School as our students engaged with powerful stories and cutting-edge technology.
Our 8th graders recently spent time with Mr. Halligan, who shared a touching and deeply personal story about the risks and consequences of bullying. This session provided a space for reflection on the importance of kindness and the lasting impact of our actions toward one another.
In the science wing, we welcomed Mr. Ferraco and a talented group of Walt Whitman High School research students. They brought along their impressive robotic dog to give our classes a hands-on look at engineering in action. Along with the demonstration, they shared insights into the high school science research program, giving our students a glimpse into the exciting academic opportunities that await them in the future.
Lastly, we want to celebrate the students who represented Stimson at the first annual district technology showcase last week. Their hard work and innovation were on full display, highlighting the creative ways our school is embracing new tools and ideas.

Cell Phone Policy Updates

Stimson students may not use their cell phones during the school day. Students MUST secure their phones in their lockers at the start of the school day where it will be stored until dismissal. We will be communicating this to students regularly throughout the month of September. As of October 1st, any student found with their cell phone during the school day will have their phone taken and held until a parent or guardian can pick it up from school. Additional instances will result in detention.
