10-13-25

Our PTO Fall Festival will take place this Friday from 5-7pm! This is an annual tradition and we hope you can come out to it! Games and activities will require tickets to participate. Every student will receive 5 tickets for free. 

We are asking for donations of store-bought baked goods for the Cake Walk and 2-liters for the Ring Toss. Every donated item will earn a student 5 tickets to be used for the games (ex: 2 donated items = 10 tickets). 

We will also have food available for purchase from Phat Daddy's Eats and Treats, JP's Food Truck Taqueria, and Kona Ice. 

In an effort to ensure we're adequately staffed and have enough prizes, please click here to RSVP!

Please make it a priority to read through these announcements each week. We are not utilizing Dojo for constant schoolwide information this year; everything is housed on the website.  You can bookmark bit.ly/sgeparents to easily navigate to the school website. From there, scroll down and click on "Weekly Announcements".

Code of Conduct Reminder
 The safety of every child at Stamping Ground Elementary is non-negotiable. It is important for families to understand that threats to school safety could be considered terroristic threatening and are punishable under Kentucky state law.  Terroristic threats refer to verbal or written statements that communicate an intention to commit violence with the intention of causing fear, panic, or harm to individuals. 

A person is guilty of terroristic threatening in the second degree when, other than as provided in KRS 508.075, he or she intentionally makes false statements by any means, including by electronic communication, indicating that an act likely to result in death or serious physical injury is occurring or will occur for the purpose of:

1. Causing evacuation of a school building, school property, or school sanctioned activity;
2. Causing cancellation of school classes or school-sanctioned activity; or
3. Creating fear of death or serious physical injury among students, parents, or school personnel.


Terroristic threatening will not be tolerated. Any student who makes a threat toward another student—regardless of intent or believability—will receive a minimum consequence of a 3-day suspension.

We ask for your support in reinforcing this message at home. Please talk with your child about the seriousness of their words. Even statements made “as a joke” can cause fear and disruption, and will always carry real consequences. By working together, we can help our students understand the responsibility that comes with their words and keep our school community safe.
