It is extremely important that we have working phone numbers as well as a second/emergency number. Situations may arise at school and we will need to reach you. Please be sure we have phone numbers or means of contacting you during the school day.



Dismissing Students

Literations is an intergenerational literacy-based organization designed for students who are not yet reading at grade level. Literations helps 1st through 4th graders become strong readers and develop confidence. We have this program at Stapleton and the trained volunteers will be starting soon.



You should have received a message in Parent Square to sign that you have read and reviewed the handbook with your child. This handbook reviews school policies, expectations and other important information.
