Change is in the Stony Point A.I.R. (Achievement, Integrity, Respect)<br />

We are happy to share the results of our student initiatives this year and recent updates.<br />

Stony Point High School continues to embrace our Positive Behavior Interventions and Support<br />

initiative that continues to make a significant impact on our campus. The results of our new<br />

tardy sweeps have shown that more students are arriving to class on time. Faculty and staff<br />

appreciate the students’ dedication and notable effort in arriving to class in an efficient and<br />

timely manner. Teachers have been able to continue maximizing instruction with far fewer<br />

disruptions.<br />

With our modified systems in place, we continue to monitor and find areas to improve<br />

our service to all stakeholders. Our data in regards to tardy sweep indicated that we have<br />

decreased in tardies; however, the greatest numbers of tardy students still lies in the morning<br />

class and the class after lunch. Please remind your children about the importance of arriving to<br />

every class on time.<br />

Continuing with recent updates, on Monday, March 28 th , at approximately 2:00 p.m., our<br />

staff member, Kristi Anderlohr quickly extinguished a fire in the boys’ restroom. We sincerely<br />

appreciate Mrs. Anderlohr and the two students that brought the news to her attention shortly<br />

after the fire began. District protocol is to call the fire department to extinguish and evaluate any<br />

smoke or fire in the building. We thank our <strong>Round</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> Fire department for coming out and<br />

quickly removing the smoke from this area of the building. The incident is currently under<br />

investigation by the <strong>Round</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> Police Department, <strong>Round</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> Fire Marshall’s office and the<br />

Stony Point High School administration.<br />

In addition, our most pressing news occurred on Friday, March 25 th , <strong>Round</strong> <strong>Rock</strong> I.S.D.<br />

campuses were challenged with the task of notifying the identified teachers about their state of<br />

employment for the next school year. Stony Point, like many other schools throughout the state,<br />

has to relieve teachers from duty for the next school year in order to meet budget shortfalls<br />

coming from the state. In addition, Stony Point will be staffed with fewer teachers next school<br />

year because we will be serving fewer students. Our junior class will be approximately two<br />

hundred students less. As each class at Cedar Ridge High School grows, class sizes at Stony<br />

Point High School will decrease. As a district, we are hopeful we will be able to bring back as<br />

many teachers as possible if the state legislature agrees to release more financial assistance to<br />

school districts in the state. This is a difficult time for our teachers and your sincere support of<br />

them is greatly appreciated.
