Welcome back Stimson Middle School! We hope everyone had a long and relaxing Spring Recess and is feeling refreshed as we get back into the building. It is wonderful to see our community back together for the final stretch of the school year.
We are especially excited to welcome home our National Junior Honor Society students from their trip to Washington DC. They had an enriching experience visiting the monuments and museums, and we are glad to have them back in their classrooms sharing what they learned.
As we look forward to the events of the week, please remember that the New York State English Language Arts Assessments will be held this Wednesday and Thursday. We encourage all students to get a good night of sleep and eat a healthy breakfast so they can perform their best on these important days.
It is going to be a busy and exciting week at Stimson. Let’s keep the positive energy going and have a wonderful return to school!

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.
