Everybody needs to learn how to do new things. Here are some videos and instructions to help you on your learning mission!

FAQs:

What should I bring to school?


You should bring your Chromebook, charger, water bottle, lunch, schedule, and headphones to school every day. Instead of bringing lunch, many students purchase lunch from the cafeteria. For the start of 2020, school meals are free for all students.

You should also bring layers of clothing appropriate for the weather. We will go outside regularly for mask breaks and meals, and windows may be open in classrooms even on cold days. Students often find they need more warm layers during school than they do while walking or bike riding to school.


How do guardians contact the office? When should they contact the office?


You can contact the office by emailing Mrs. Gallagher at lgallagher@stonehamschools.org or Mrs. Geraghty at kgeraghty@stonehamschools.org or by calling the office at 781-279-3840.

What is PowerSchool?


PowerSchool is the platform Stoneham Public School uses for grades, keeping track of attendance, and organizing student information. For families, the most important thing to know is that logging into PowerSchool is how to find out how students are doing with their grades.


How do I log into PowerSchool?


Students and parents have their own logins for PowerSchool. The teachers do not know these logins. If you need to log into PowerSchool but don't know how or don't know your or your child's password, you should contact Mrs. Gallagher or Mrs. Geraghty in the office right away.


When should I charge my Chromebook?


You should charge your Chromebook every night when you go to bed. It is even better if you plug it in right when you get home so you don't forget!


How do I get free breakfast and lunch?


Days students are in school:

Students can get free breakfast by going to the cafeteria when they enter the building at the beginning of the school day. Just stop in the cafeteria before going to homeroom.

Students can get free lunch just by getting in line at lunch time. There are also a few items like chips that cost money if students want to add them on to their lunches.

Days students are out of school:

Families can pick up breakfast and lunch at their schools 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, at Washington Ave 11:00 - 11:30 am, and at Calthea Street 11:30 am - 12:00 pm. You can pick up multiple meals at a time.
