The Back to the Future Parents Party is TONIGHT and we want every Wildcat family there! Join your fellow Stanley parents for a night of food, drinks, and great music at 6:30pm.

Come dressed like it's 1955, 1985 OR fast forward to 2015 (which aside from skinny jeans, is basically today, so come as you are!) — make like a DeLorean and show up at 88mph! 🎸

Here's the thing — parent parties like this don't organize themselves, and there are no guarantees we'll have one next year. This may be your only chance to let loose with your fellow Wildcat parents, so don't sit this one out! Grab your tickets on the PTA site — you'll regret it if you don't!

Hey McFly — you're not going to let this one pass you by, are you? 😄🚗⚡

Run for Stanley — Sign Up for Res Run

The Lafayette Reservoir Run is back on Sunday, October 18th — and it's one of the easiest ways to raise money for Stanley! Last year, Stanley families helped us bring in an incredible $7,000 just by registering and noting "Stanley Middle School" at sign-up. Let's hit that goal again this year — and then some!

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or more of a "enthusiastic walker," there's a distance for everyone — and every single registration counts toward Stanley's total. Sign up your student, yourself, and the whole family.

Register here and don't forget to select Stanley Middle School when you sign up.

Volunteer with LAFSD Celebrates: Culture Bites

Behind every trend, song, and slang word your kids swear they invented is a whole cultural history. 

Culture Bites invites parents and caregivers to lead a fun, interactive 25-minute session during a Thursday Academy — think food, music, or art — connecting familiar things to their roots.

No teaching experience required — the DEIB committee is here to help shape your idea into an experience kids will be eager to sign up for.

LAFSD Celebrates: Culture Bites kicks off twice-monthly sessions in September with LatinX Heritage Month. Check out the LAFSD Celebrates Curriculum for monthly themes all year long.

After-School Sport/s Carpool Driver?

Considering After-School Sport/s for Your Student This Year?

Want to be able to carpool for any of their activities?

Important action to take now

Parents who drive students other than their own to Stanley sports practices, games or team activities must complete a new mandated reporter training module.Whether casual or scheduled carpool rides, this applies to every sports activity driver for volleyball, basketball, flag football, cross country, track & field, mountain biking, soccer, golf or frisbee. 

The district is asking parents to have this completed within the next several weeks to be eligible to drive for any sport this school year. The free online training is self-paced and saves your progress, so you can stop and return to it anytime. 

Start here now by creating a log-in & selecting the Mandated Reporter - Child Abuse module for VOLUNTEERS. Once finished, you'll upload a screenshot of your training confirmation email or page to Be A Mentor. 

We know this is likely yet another task on a long list; thank you for understanding it is part of a newly expanded State legal requirement. And thank you for helping to keep our Stanley community & programs safe and thriving.
