Good evening Bulldog families,
Beginning tomorrow (1/13/26), all car riders will wait in the FRONT of the school for afternoon pickup. The parking lot near the bus loop is for buses and permitted vehicles only. Vehicles without a permit will be asked to circle back to the front of the school.
Students who walk home must leave campus immediately at dismissal unless they are in tutorials, clubs, athletics, band, or detention. Students may not linger on campus.
Morning drop-off & afternoon pickup = FRONT of school only (No exceptions)
We appreciate your cooperation and continued support as we work together to ensure a safe and orderly dismissal process for all students and staff. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our campus safe.
Dear 8th Grade Families,
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming International Baccalaureate (IB) Information Session at Stony Point High School on January 8th from 6:00–7:30 pm.
This event is a great opportunity to learn more about the IB Programme, explore the academic pathways available to your student, and meet the staff who support our IB scholars. Whether your student is already interested or just beginning to explore advanced academic options, we’d love to help you discover what IB can offer. Also, feel free to sign up yourself and your child for the IB Explore Day on January 29th.
We hope to see you there and look forward to partnering with you as you plan for high school and beyond.
