Anatomy students are preparing for their lab practicum potion of the summative assessment over histology. Histology is the study of tissue. Students have to correctly identify both the type of tissue under the microscope and where it is located in the body. Wish them luck, they have been working hard.


Earth and Space science students used colorful candies and beads to help better understand radioactive decay and half lives.


Today 2 young men earned the RARE award for having great character. The first young man told his sister, who was crying, that she could walk with him and his friends at morning walk. The other young man helped me yesterday at lunch. I didn't need to ask him for help. He saw that I was struggling to get a student to sweep and he jumped in and swept the entire area. I am so proud of these amazing students.

Today is last day of the first quarter. We have had to expand our RARE board to two boards because we have so many students with great RARE qualities. At parent conferences please check the board and see how amazing all Stapleton students are. We will continue to add to the board 2nd semester.
We have 2 more 3rd grade and 2 kindergarten students who have earned RARE awards. The first 3rd grade student is Responsible. He is organized and keeps his space very organized. The second 3rd grade student is Responsible. She comes to class prepared consistently, gets her planner signed, and works hard to reach her goals.
The first Kindergarten student is Empathetic. She is caring and helpful to all of the classmates. The second Kindergarten students is Respectful. He shows respect by following directions. What amazing students we have at Stapleton Public Schools!




Updated MNAC VB Bracket. Lady Mavericks play at 10am vs Twin Loup in Broken Bow on Saturday.

District XC Update: Senior Keith Morash has a Top 10 finish in the D-6 XC Districts today in Grant! Congrats Keith!!!
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: Due to playoff football on Thursday, October 24th, there is a chance that we may change the schedule. One idea is to end conferences earlier on Thursday and reschedule the afternoon/evening portion for another day. Please stay tuned. We'll send out a notification as soon as possible.
We had 3 third grade boys earn RARE awards at the end of the day yesterday. Their parents were called and they were awarded their RARE bracelets today. The first young man is quick to say thank you when anything is passed out in class. The second, is very thoughtful of others and loves to help out his classmates. The third young man is prepared for class each day, gets his planner signed consistently, and works hard to reach his goals. These 3 are amazing young students!
