Principal's Message, 5-14-21
Greetings Stough Families,
I hope you've had a pleasant week. Thanks for bearing with us as we navigated an extra day of remote learning. I applaud our teachers for adjusting on the fly and trying to ensure that everyone had a productive day of remote learning on short notice. Thanks to each of you as well for adapting and giving us grace, not just today, but throughout the year...
I am hopeful to see many of you again at our general PTA meeting this Thursday (details below). Here are your weekly updates:
1. Next week is a five-day week of live learning. (Hopefully the Earth and its fossil fuels will not inhibit our school attendance any further!) Also, Friday 5/21 is the beginning of our state testing season with the 3rd Grade Math EOG (VA only).
2. It's the final week for your talent show submissions! Here's the reminder from Mrs. Shumake:
Don't forget to submit your Stough Virtual Talent Show videos by Friday, May 21st, 2021! Students may submit one individual talent video and/or one family talent video. Talent videos must be 2 minutes or less. Since we will share the video with the Stough community, all students featured in the videos must have photo/video permission. Please contact your child's classroom teacher if you aren't sure that your child has submitted this permission form. Directions for uploading your video have been added to the stream in your child's Google Classroom. Videos will be reviewed by a panel to ensure that music, topics, words, and movement are appropriate for school. Have a question? Email Ms. Shumake at ashumake@wcpss.net.
3. Please help us by returning any District hotspots to our front office during school hours. Students returning to a Wake County School may keep their borrowed Chromebooks. All others should be returned. Here are the details.
4. Here are the PTA Updates:

Message to 5th Grade Parents from Donna Breniman
Please send pictures for your fifth grader to Donna Breniman dbreniman@gmail.com by May 15. If you can, send a pic from K and 5. They don’t have to be school pictures. Please put your child’s name and homeroom teacher in the subject. For those of you who have sent pictures already, I have tried to send a thank you so you know I’ve received them. I’ve really enjoyed seeing everyone’s pictures so far!
Spirit Nights
Papa Murphy’s, 1028 Oberlin Road- May 26, starting at 1:00
Have a great weekend,
