Book Fair Announcement for Stafford Elementary
Stafford parents don't forget tomorrow is our first Dress Up day with Let'g Get Wild - wear you favorite animal print.
Repairs on the fiber line at Stafford are still ongoing. The current estimate to have Internet back at the school is by end of the day tomorrow. We are having to replace a large portion of the fiber. We will keep you updated as the situation changes thank you.
Friday Night Lights in Italy, watching our Gladiator Football Team, is an exciting and fun family-friendly
event to show our Italy pride and support our students. Safety and security is of utmost importance not only in
our schools but also at all our extracurricular events.
For all home football games, all spectators are being asked to remain behind the fence that separates
the bleachers/concessions from the track and the field at all times. Spectators will not be allowed on the track
or the field before, during or after the game. Staff working the game will be wearing lanyards with access tags
in order to fulfill their responsibilities and provide support for students, spectators and guests.
At all times, please make sure the only thing our players and fellow spectators hear from us is cheering
on our students. Please refrain from heckling, yelling or using inappropriate language towards our coaches
and staff or in front of families, students and small children. Let’s keep this a family-friendly event.
At the conclusion of the football game, players will have a few minutes to meet their families at the
fence, however, players will remain on the track and families will remain behind the fence.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the game! Have fun cheering on our students and spending
time with your family and friends! Go Italy Gladiators!
Please see bus route information for Stafford elementary for the current year, thank you.
