Stonewyck Elementary PTA

08/19/2026

Very thankful for those who came out in person and virtually to attend our first PTA meeting last night!

Now we have to ask: who’s not sitting at the table?

We want to make sure any parent, teacher, student, and community member interested in Stonewyck Elementary School knows they are welcome.

Speak two languages? We need you here to help translate.

Have an idea for donations? Grab a seat at the lunch table, bring a cushion because they’re hard!

Want to know what’s going on and how you can help? Don’t wait until our next meeting, reach out to us.

[email protected] or message us directly through our social media.

Our table is big enough for everyone to sit comfortably, talk openly, and feel included.

📝Reminder - don’t be like these guys and show up too early for school!

First day of school is TUESDAY, August 11th!

🦺Please make sure you supervise your children until they enter the building - don’t drop them off at the front entrance to wait alone.

🧍🏽🧍🏼‍♀️Watch for individuals working the car line - they will direct you to move forward to keep the line moving!

🚙🚗 Wait your turn - younger grades will be dismissed earlier than 3pm. If you have older students, join the car line later than 2:45PM.

🚦Left lane = driving through the parking lot to exit only. Right lane = dropping off / picking up students only. Don’t block traffic as it causes unsafe lanes.

🏁Need help learning the Roadmap to Success at Stonewyck? Our first PTA event of the year is ALL about Safety.

Details coming soon!
