School Safety Plan Presentation

Stanley Assistant Principal Cristina So is leading the review of the school’s Comprehensive School Safety Plan. This month, a committee comprised of staff and parents is meeting to review a draft of the safety plan that will then be presented to you, the parents, next month.

Your input matters. Please join us 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 12 in the Stanley library for coffee, followed by a presentation of the Comprehensive School Safety Plan. Parents will be walked through the school’s safety strategies and presented its goals for the year ahead. A representative from the Lafayette Police Department is also expected to attend.

This is an important opportunity for parents to provide feedback and offer approval as the school finalizes its approach to campus security and student well-being.

We hope to see you there!

Post Budget Town Hall Meeting

Some of you may have tuned in last Wednesday’s school board’s Budget Town Hall. You can read about the budget over here and rewatch the town hall here. 

The takeaway was that this is a critical moment for our schools. The district has taken significant and fiscally responsible steps to manage costs, but they’re still looking at $2 million in proposed cuts this year along with the parcel tax Measure L expiring in 2027. This poses a real risk to our kids’ programs and school communities. Parents showing up now and over the next few months will make the difference.

How to show up now:

1. Stay informed on Measure L and local funding options.
2. Attend and speak up at the Wednesday, February 11, School Board meeting in the Stanley Library at 6 p.m.
3. Donate to LPIE. We must keep local funding sources healthy and strong.

There is No “Save The Date”

On Monday, Feb. 2, some of you may have received an email from WildcatWeeklyEditor@gmail.com asking you to save the date and click on a Paperless Post invitation to a “Special Private Dinner Party” on Saturday, Feb. 7. 

That wasn’t us. That was spam. We were hacked. 

Kristin Strange, our Wildcat Weekly Editor, took steps that will hopefully fend off that nonsense. 

Apologies for the confusion. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you get any more suspicious emails. May there be a special place in hell reserved for those who hack PTA Gmail accounts to send out spam.

New Gear is Here!

I know you want drip and our spirit wear coordinator, Shila Dorrani, has delivered. She has created some new styles, items and color options in the Stanley Spirit Wear Store.

Please note the spirit wear will be open until April 26 with delivery planned for May 14. I know that seems far down the road, but we also want to give the incoming sixth graders a chance to get some gear for their new school.
