We were excited to start the new school year with SchoolLoop open and available on the first day. Most returning 7th and 8th graders and their parents already have accounts and can simply log in using the same username and password as last year.

For students new to Stanley, creating an account is simple. When you click on the "Register Now" button on the left side of this screen, you will go to a screen that asks for some important information. Parents will go through a very similar process and need the same basic information as students.

Much of the information requested is obvious, but the first bit requires you to know the student's ID number.  You can find this on the schedule that was distributed on the first day. It is the number listed as "Perm ID#."  It is common to mistake this number for the "Student #" - but use the "Perm ID#"!!!

We also recommend that students have and use their own email accounts when they set up their School Loop account. This is because many teachers use SchoolLoop to create and monitor online classroom discussions, a feature that is only open to students enrolled in their classes.

Once you have an account, we encourage you to browse around the features, see what's happening in your (or your child's) classrooms and get comfortable navigating around the various options available on your "Portal."

We look forward to a great year!  Stay in the Loop!

We are pleased to announce that after several years of planning and preparation, our Stanley PTA has voted to move ahead with supporting Stanley’s Outdoor Learning Quad. This is an area in front of the Stanley Library that has been unused for many years, and will now become a place where teachers and students can work in a welcoming, outdoor environment. Our Stanley staff, District leadership, student leadership team, and community partners have collaborated on this project, which is slated to be completed by the first day of school in 2012. For a visual of the OLQ plan, check HERE .

OPEN UNTIL 5/25 @ 2:00 PM
