Person said he wants parents to feel free to come into the school during the school day. We want parents to know they are welcome at Stone Bridge. Parents can make a huge difference in the daily life of the school and in its reputation. He s also thinking of having parent greeters stationed at the school s entrance. Such greeters could provide parents who are new to the area information about the school system, the community and Stone Bridge.
Parents can be our best PR people.
Person hopes this will ease the typical ninth-grade transition pains. Though they ll be housed in a separate wing with their own administrative team and will not technically be under the supervision of Stone Bridge s administrative or teaching staff, Person hopes the eighth-graders will absorb a sense of what the school is about through osmosis. Person summed up the feelings he has for his new school. You kind of pinch yourself every day knowing how fortunate you are. Look at the opportunities we ve been given.
