Calling All Staton Moms!
Here's Your Chance To Relax A Bit And Make A Difference In 117,000 Children's Lives
Please Join Us for Staton’s 2nd Annual Muffins for Mom Event
Friday, May 9 from 8-9 a.m.
In the Multi Purpose Room
                                     
Staton appreciates each of its wonderful, dedicated, hard-working Moms! Come relax, enjoy a muffin, juice and coffee – served up by our wonderful Staton Dads - and enter the raffle drawing for lots of great prizes!  Have your picture taken by Exposures with your children, take it home the same day and enjoy the memory forever!  There will be music, fun and a chance to help a hungry child.

Did you know that there are over 117,000 children in the Clark County School District, enough to fill the Thomas and Mack Center five times, who need help receiving regular, nutritious meals? That statistic alone is staggering enough, but when the bell rings at the end of the day on Friday, many of those children go hungry until school resumes on Monday morning. Three Square, the new food bank dedicated to ending hunger in Southern Nevada, has joined forces with our community to create the Back Pack Program. This program is designed to provide food for those children who might otherwise go without food during non-school hours. You can help by bringing any of the kid-friendly items listed below to the Muffins for Mom event: Pop-top single serving beans and franks and Vienna sausages, single serving cereal boxes, 8 oz. cartons of shelf-stable milk, 6.75 oz. juice boxes, fruit cups, pudding cups, granola and breakfast bars, cracker and cookie packs, sunflower seed packets, fruit snack packets and cutlery packs. If you have any questions, please call Angela Gunderson at 657-6981. Hope to see you all at Staton’s Muffins for Mom Event!

Exposures, Ltd. specializes in corporate photography – creating dynamic imagery for advertising and events. Gary, Carol, and the entire Exposures, Ltd. team are happy to help out with the 2008 Muffins for Moms campaign. We congratulate all the Moms for having such outstanding kids. Happy Mother’s Day!

Staton HELP WANTED ADS Just Added
Discover the many ways to support our school by visiting our new Help Wanted Ads web page. Volunteering your time, services, or goods has just gotten easier.

"Going Green" This Spring
Please send us your email address
We’re building a database of Staton families to utilize an “email blast” system. We’re asking anyone that hasn’t already submitted their email address to the Staton directory to email it to: Christa Eagleton. Email addresses submitted will be kept private and not shared with outside sources. Next year, our goal is to offer your family the choice of receiving the newsletter electronically or traditionally, therefore cutting down on the amount of duplicate paperwork some families receive. We appreciate your support in reaching our goal!

Nevada Parent Network Website Launched
The site is brought to you by the Nevada Department of Education and includes explanations of the Nevada Standards, Skill-Building Activities for you and your child to do together, Everyday Activities to support your child's progress in school, and much more. A letter containing the username and password required to access the site was sent home with each student. If you have misplaced this information, please request it from the front office at Staton. Here is a link to the Nevada Parent Network website.

Accelerated Reading Program List
You'll find two great new links on the STUDENTS page including a link to our school's reading list and the "Just For Kids" section of the Clark County Library District's website. Fun stuff for all grades!

Should Your Child Be Reading in Kindergarten or First Grade? When Do Students Start Learning Multiplication?
Many parents inquire about "when" their child should be reaching certain educational benchmarks or what the standards are for our school district. The answers to those questions and many more can be found in this document: Guide For Benchmarks (Language Arts/Reading & Mathematics Grades K-5). We encourage you to print a copy of the pages that pertain to your child(ren) and discuss any questions you may have with your teacher(s).

Welcome To Our Website
If you have any suggestions or problems with the site, please don't hesitate to contact us by email. Be sure to check the website regularly for the latest information about our school.
