Stimson Spotlights

Welcome back to Stimson Middle School! We hope your Winter Break was a relaxing and warm time for your family to reset. In light of the recent blizzard, we sincerely hope the storm did not negatively affect any of our families and that everyone stayed safe and warm during the weather.
We left school for the break on such an exciting note with our staff vs. student volleyball game, which was a fantastic display of school spirit and some surprisingly competitive serves. This week, although short, has kept that positive energy going. We have continued celebrating Black History Month through our daily Hidden Figures challenges, giving students a chance to uncover the stories of remarkable individuals throughout history in a fun, interactive way.
The highlight of our return happens this evening as we host a historic event for our school: our first-ever Tri-M Junior Honor Society induction ceremony. We are so proud to welcome these talented new members and celebrate their dedication to both music and service. We are glad to have everyone back together!

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.
