Principal's Welcome

Dear Stone Academy Families,

Welcome to another exciting school year at Stone Academy!  It is with great pleasure that I begin my 15th year at Stone, 6th as the principal.  I absolutely love working with our entire school community and am thrilled to continue the excellent traditions we’ve established at Stone.  Our school theme for the 2026-2027 school year is “Discover Awe at Stone.”  We aim to find and share the awe and wonder in everyday experiences.  As adults, we can probably identify some moments/places/things in our lives that have made us stop and wonder or maybe even given us chills.  The opportunities we create for our students can also evoke these emotions.  We hope to inspire the children to look for the awe in the variety of experiences they will have throughout the year. 

We invite you to read more about Stone in our Student Handbook. You will find key topics at the bottom portion of the Greenville County Schools’ Student Handbook on our website.  If you would like a paper copy, please feel free to contact the front office.  


Here are a few key reminders to keep in mind:

  • Doors open at 7am and the tardy bell rings at 7:45am; Mr. E will stop traffic on Randall Street indicating you need to park your car and bring your child into school
  • If your child needs to eat breakfast, make sure he/she is at school before 7:30am
  • You have three days to submit an attendance excuse to the front office (can be done electronically on our website or by handwritten note)
  • Parents can come to lunch after Labor Day; these visits should be for special occasions 
  • Dismissal tags must be visible for all car riders and those picking up on foot at the kindergarten door.  All K5 and first grade parents of bus riders must also have their dismissal tag at the bus stop or the driver won’t have a choice but to bring the child back to school.   This is for their safety. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, our office staff, or your child’s teacher. I am looking forward to another fantastic school year!

Sincerely,
Suzanne Shouse
Principal
Stone Academy
