PTO Meeting: January 9th @ 6pm

Posted: January 5th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Events, News, Volunteers | No Comments »

Welcome Back Stanford Families! We hope you enjoyed the Winter Break and are looking forward to getting in gear for the 2012 Winter/Spring cycle.

Please join us Monday, January 9th at 6:00 pm for our monthly PTO meeting. We will start our meeting by hearing a short though well informed presentation by D.J. Cordes, financial advisor from Edward Jones Investment company. Mr. Cordes will be providing information and answering questions about saving for your child’s college education and available financial vehicles to reach your goals.

This meeting will be a great time to gather and discuss upcoming Winter and Spring Events including our Festival of Nations 2012! If you would like to be involved for this we would invite you to come and show your support, what a great way to earn volunteer hours.

MNPS 2012-2013 Fall Application Process

Posted: November 7th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Events, News | No Comments »

MNPS 2012-2013 Fall Application Process starts TODAY!

It’s that time of year again. The 2012-2013 Fall Application Process is upon us and there will be a Kick Off event tonight at IT Creswell from 5-7 pm. Here is a pdf from MNPS that will give you all the information you need: SCHOOL OPTIONS PRESENTATION

We have IMPORTANT news for Stanford students! We, in conjunction with Hull-Jackson, have the opportunity for a Montessori pathway school through 8th grade! This option is open to current 4th grade students and also to 5th grade students who attended Stanford or Hull-Jackson last year. In order for the program to be established we need a minimum of 45 commitments for the 2012-2013 school year. A pathway form will be sent home in your child’s backpack, which must be returned by the deadline. To read the letter from MNPS click here.

Preschool through 3rd grade students, who wish to STAY at Stanford, do not need to do anything at this time. A continuation form will be sent home in January where you can indicate your preference to attend Stanford in 2012-2013.

Students who are in 4th grade and PS-3rd grade students who wish to apply to a DIFFERENT school will need to complete the application process at this time. Please visit www.mnps.org for more information or to apply online. Paper and online applications must be received by December 2, 2011.
