As Fall sneaks up on us it is
important to remember to keep
our minds warm and ready for
knowledge.
The temperature is steady
falling; but here at Stonewall
Tell Elementary School we are
constantly “Setting Trends by
Exceeding Standards.”
Trend Setting is very important
whether it is a fashion statement
or a life statement, it makes
people think, “Hey if they can
excel that way I can too.” So
when you get dressed in the
morning before coming to
school and before you put on
your warm hats and coats – be
sure you adorn yourself with the
SWT Thinking Cap.
This “thinking cap” is to mentally
prepare you for the learning day
ahead and help you continue to
show your school pride. When
you make learning a top priority
in your life you are not only
making yourself one of
Stonewall Tell’s Top Trend
Setters; you are setting yourself
up for a Golden Future filled
endless possibilities.
So as we approach the Iowa
Test of Basic Skills, October 22-
26th, stay focused. Come to
School on time and dressed to
impress with your SWT Thinking
Cap ready to learn!

Healthy Kids, Smart Kids
Stonewall Tell Elementary has adopted the Healthy Kids, Smart Kids wellness initiative. We believe that healthier eating habits and consistent exercise have a positive impact on our children’s learning and ultimately their test scores. When sending classroom snacks, please remember that this is a “Sugar-Free Zone” school. Do not send soft drinks, fruit drinks with processed sugar, candy, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes, hot fries or sugary snacks. Also note that birthday parties that include cakes, cookies, wings, ice cream and other treats are prohibited and will not be allowed in the building. Healthier items such as fruit cups, fresh fruit, pretzels, baked chips, 100% juice, fresh vegetables, 100% fruit snacks, granola bars, animal crackers and items with low salt and minimum sugar are allowed.
** Due to nut allergies, please do not send any snacks with peanuts or peanut butter in them.
Parents please note that if your child has a fever of at least 100
degrees (F) they must be “fever-
free” for 24 hours before returning to school. This policy will be strictly
enforced so that we might combat/prevent the spread of any flu-like virus in the school.

Counselor’s Corner Being a parent is the most demanding job in the world, yet most of us train “on the job.” When things are going well, savor the moment. When things are not going well you may feel stressed and overwhelmed.
· Are you sleeping and eating too much or too little?
· Do you take your frustrations out on your kids?
· Do you feel out of control?
· Do you feel as if your children misbehave on purpose?
· Do you strike out physically or verbally when angry?
· Do you have chronically upset stomach or muscle aches, especially in your back and neck?
· Are you frustrated because your children don’t listen?
· Do you feel as if you pick on one particular child?
· Do you feel as if you can’t talk to your kids?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you may need to reach out for help. Call your school counselor for resources and information.
