Teacher Workday at Stony Point High School

Today started out at Stony Point High School. We opened this morning with a faculty meeting led by Principal Albert Hernandez. We got beginning of the year reports from several departments of the school in connection with the start of the school year. Our parking situation has changed direction with the inclusion of the ninth graders. We expect more traffic and they are devising a plan to make drop-offs and pick-ups easier.

There is a new A.I.R about us! I'll go more in depth about this on the next blog!
