Smart IDEA
Program Helps Teachers Use the Arts
to Learn
Stone teachers have
been involved in the Peace Center's
IDEA program since its inception.
Find out
more.....
Now IDEA is
merged with the Metropolitan
Arts Council's Smart
Program, becoming "Smart
IDEA." Our teachers
will continue our
involvement with this
extraordinary program.
Magnet Applications
Hard
copies
will be
available
at Stone
Academy
and at
the
district's
Service
center
at the
Central
Office .
* Stone
Academy
HIGHLY
recommends
that all
students
apply
within
the
FIRST
ROUND
(Nov.1-Dec.1
at Noon)
due to
the high
volume
of
applicants/waiting
lists.
Applications
are not
accepted
on a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
However,
students
who
qualify
in the
first
round
are
offered
slots
before
anyone
who
qualifies
in the
second-round
- no
matter
the
score.
* Stone
Academy
prefers
that
magnet
applications
are
hand-delivered
to our
school
and
should
be given
to the
front
office
staff or
to the
magnet
program
coordinator.
* Please
refer to
the
FAQ
district
document
to help
answer
any
questions
you may
have.
This
document
is
lengthy
but a
great
resource
of
information
for
applicants.
It can
be found
