Engaging and Educational Activities

Engaging and educational activities you can try at home

We are so excited for summer break! Here is a list of some fun and engaging (screen free) activities that you can do with a variety of age groups. Feel free to take photos along the way and share them with us. You can also encourage your child to bring in anything (writing, drawing, books, photos) to show their teachers. We would LOVE to see and hear about all of it! Feel free to email any fabulous photos of your young Tartan to news@stuartschool.org.

Read with your children as often as possible. Having your child read to themselves, to someone, or along with them are all meaningful experiences. Carving out special time for you and your child to bond over a good book is a great way to foster a lifelong love of reading.
Check out your local library. The Mercer County Library System has fabulous, free programs for children of all ages. http://www.eventkeeper.com/mars/xpages/m/mcl/ekp.cfm?&CFID=47262743&CFTOKEN=3cf8958a4ecc0f98-A25DDE6D-D4AE-528A-5350F3CDA5E50965
Visit a museum or nearby attraction. Have your child reflect on their experience. Would they recommend that another child visit? Encourage them to write and draw about their experience. You can even create a book or journal about their different adventures - “My Trip to the Zoo.”
Cooking with your child is a great way to organically incorporate STEM and literacy. You can extend this activity to include your child’s participation in making a list of ingredients to buy, accompanying you to the grocery store, reading the recipe, cooking with assistance, and making a personal recipe book of your favorites.
Egg drop. Only use eggs you don’t mind wasting and have your kids come up with inventive ways to secure and protect an egg so that when you drop it from a window it does not break. This can include placing the egg inside a shoebox filled with foam, or any other creative method out there. You can extend this project by having your child write a lab report by sketching and/or writing about their plans, trials and results.
Marshmallow Geometric Shapes. Use mini marshmallows and toothpicks and have your child create as many shapes (or combination of shapes) as they can. This can be as simple as a triangle, to a rectangular prism connected to a pyramid connected to…let their ingenuity be your guide.
Touch Math/Spelling. Use chalk to make a number or letter board. Challenge your child to answer a math equation or spell a word by hopping to the correct number(s) or letters.
Enjoy nature! No matter where you are this summer, encourage your child to get outside and enjoy the world around them. Gardening, bird watching, nature hikes, collecting seashells, making fairy houses are all valuable ways to stimulate their senses and creativity.

Uniforms, Dress Code and Encore Emporium (Gently Used Shop)

Upper School Dress Code

The Upper School does not have a daily uniform because we seek to help our young women learn to dress appropriately for a given situation. Students' clothing may reflect individuality as long as it is in keeping with the dress code. We wish to create an environment that is respectful of the feelings and attitudes of the community.

Volunteer Drivers

Volunteer parent drivers are needed in the Lower School

Throughout the school year each grade level will schedule off-campus trips that may require parent drivers. It is a policy of our Business Office and insurer that parents complete an application form and be approved to drive students other than their own child to off campus trips. A new application must be submitted each school year. Without sufficient drivers, some trips may not take place. Volunteering does not obligate you to drive unless your schedule allows. All applications must be submitted and approved by the end of September. Please consider becoming part of this important volunteer parent pool!

Please contact your division assistant to receive a link to Verified First, our online driver verification system.

Flag Ceremony (Registration Open)

The Stuart community is preparing for its annual Flag Ceremony. Our first all-school event of the year, the Flag Ceremony is a celebration of the beautiful diversity here at Stuart. It serves as a powerful reminder that while we hail from many different nations, we learn, play, and work together.

This year, the Flag Ceremony will take place on Friday, September 23 at 10:00 AM. At the ceremony, members of Stuart’s faculty, staff and students gather in groups around the flag of their native country. They then process into Cor Unum together, carrying the flag of their country of origin or that of their parents and/or grandparents. Each country is announced alphabetically and flags are provided by Stuart.

The Flag Ceremony is open to those members of the community who meet the following criteria:

Faculty/Staff: If you, your parents, and/or grandparents were born in another country.
Students: If you, your parents, and/or grandparents were born in another country.

Faculty/Staff members and parents/guardians of students who wish to participate in the ceremony, must fill out the registration form.
