A decision regarding tomorrow will be shared by 10pm tonight.
As we persevere through the winter months, we want to remind everyone of our procedure for adjusting the school schedule in the event of inclement weather.
At all times, any decision about when to close schools, dismiss early, or start late will be made with the highest regard for the safety of our students and staff. When decisions are made, families will be notified promptly via robocall, Facebook, Stuttgart School District App, and notifications on the local radio and television stations.
The Stuttgart School District exceeds the state minimum school day requirement daily. The extra minutes in session each day accumulate and over time allow for a minimum number of days to be missed -- without the requirement to make up the time. However, in the event that days must be made up, the following makeup days have been designated (to be used in order, if possible): May 27-June 2.
Our complete 2024-25 academic calendar can be found in this post.

Yesterday Mrs. Jovi’s First Grade class turned our CKLA review session into a game show! The kids loved playing boys vs. girls and using the buzzers to see who could answer questions about our Fables & Stories domain correctly first. ⭐️
