Dear parents of 8th grade and Senior graduates. We realize that limiting tickets to 10 may cause some family members to be short. We also realize that some people may not need all 10 of their tickets. If you do not need all 10 of your tickets, or if any graduate plans on not attending, Please let us know at school so we can Lottery them out to families who might need more. If you need more, please let us know that as well. The office is staffed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 pm. Thank you for your help with this matter.
Anyone who bought prom tickets may get their money returned when picking up personal items from Student lockers. Also, if you rented a tux from Mark Emmons, get in touch with his studio for refunds.
Yearbooks are on sale now. They are $35 each and should be in on June 3rd. After June 1st, we will be allowing parents to pick up personal items from student lockers. You may purchase your yearbooks then. We are able to take credit cards either in person or over the phone for a $1 surcharge.

We know that this is a challenging time for students—staying home from school away from friends is a significant change in their routine that can make them feel disconnected. Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma is fortunate to be able to continue offering the same quality programming to girls, volunteers, and families virtually for at-home enrichment experiences. I invite students to stay connected with our new "Girl Scouts at Home" catalog at gseok.org/athome! We have added virtual badge activities, programs, and resources for girls and families to engage with from home. These are all available to the public for free—no Girl Scout membership necessary.
At Girl Scouts, girls grow their academic success, develop new talents, and explore their passions. By promoting skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration, Girl Scouts sets girls up for powerful futures. Partnering with Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma means providing a high quality, girl-centered, and girl-led experience for tomorrow’s leaders and change-makers right at your very own school. Please visit our Girl Scouts’ Academic Edge tool to review results on success girls achieve with Girl Scouts: https://www.whygirlscouts.org/academic-edge/p/1

Distance Learning Letter
4-3-2020
Dear Stuart Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Stuart School wants to thank all of you for being patient during the past couple of weeks while we were receiving the expectations, recommendations, and guidelines from the Oklahoma State Department of Education regarding the construction of our district’s Distance Learning Plan.
The goals of our Distance Learning Plan are
(1.)To provide our families with materials that will review pertinent material covered throughout the year and to allow students to cover additional material that would have been covered in their traditional classroom if we were to have been able to remain in school the rest of the academic year. (2.) Allow our students to either maintain the grade they had in each of their classes at the end of the 3rd 9 weeks grading period, or possibly raise their grade by successfully completing sufficient work during the last few weeks of the school year.
Students will either work online or will be given paper and pencil assignments to meet the criteria of our district’s Distance Learning Plan.
Online students will need to utilize the following web resources to cover the suggested material for their classes:
www.studyisland.com
HS students should log in with their Stuart school username and password. Elementary students can have their parents create a FREE account for them by using the link provided on our school app.
*you may contact Stuart school if you need your child’s login information.
www.ixl.com
Both Elementary and HS students can login using their Stuart school username and password to access their grade level courses
*you may contact Stuart school if you need your child’s login information.
www.abcmouse.com
Elementary students in grades Pre-K through 8 can have their parents create a FREE account for them by using the link provided on our school app.
***Be sure to check our school website for specific assignments in study island & ixl from Mr. Homer, Mrs. Clark, & other teachers.
Recommended work schedule for students completing online studies:
Students are expected to complete 3 topics/Lessons of 20 questions minimum in each of their core subject areas (Ex. Math, Reading/ELA, Science, Social Studies) weekly for a minimum of 60 questions per subject per week on their school Study Island or IXL accounts.
Recommended work schedule for students completing paper and pencil work:
Students are expected to complete a minimum of 3-4 worksheets/assignments/bookwork in each of their core subject areas (Ex. Math, Reading/ELA, Science, Social Studies) weekly for a minimum of 60 questions per subject per week. Some worksheets may not have 20 questions so just strive for the 60 questions per subject per week.)
.
Students will be given a manila folder to return completed work/assignments. Do not return any books or unused portions of workbooks. Just return the completed assignments. Any additional materials can be used during the summer to work with your children or they can be thrown away as the books are being cycled out this school year.
Online work and Paper/Pencil assignments are due on May 12th.
We understand this is a trying and stressful time and parents, now, more than ever, we need your help. Please be involved in your child’s lessons. Please reach out to our teachers for help. All teachers will be available for parents & students to contact regarding questions associated with their assignments. We know online and over-the-phone help is not the same as sitting face to face with a teacher, but we must do the best we can and make the most out of the situation we are in. Please contact Stuart school if you do not have a contact number for your child’s teacher. Together we are stronger and we know that we will persevere!
