Welcome To Stottlemyer Early Childhood Center

At Stottlemyer we take building safety very seriously. As we get into the colder months we will begin our safety drills at school. At the preschool level this consists of practicing "stop, look, and listen" to follow teacher directions in case of an emergency. There is a PA announcement to "stop and look at your teachers and follow their directions". Then teachers have student practice a Simon Says type game where they "go touch the door" or "go touch the window" or "sit on the carpet". The most important part of this practice is getting students to stop playing and tune in to teacher directions as soon as they are asked. We practice this twice during the year.

In addition to our safety drills, we always have our doors closed and locked and we require all students and adults to be supervised while walking through the hallways. We ask for your cooperation to keep our students safe, by always checking in at the front office and never taking your child straight to their classroom door.

NEWSLETTER: Stottlemyer Updates - December 11, 2023

Message to Community:  Happy December! With the holidays upon us, there are many reasons to be joyful. It's a time for sharing, laughter, giving back, and creating memories with family and friends. The holidays, however, can also be stressful. We may be making plans to visit loved ones, managing our budget for gifts, or coordinating events with our community. With an already-packed schedule, these additional tasks can add stress to our lives.

Over the past ten years, enrollment has changed significantly within Wayne-Westland Community Schools. The budgeting process has shown that steps need to be taken to address our district’s financial challenges and the changing enrollment. I want to update you on our current plan going forward.

As part of the district’s ongoing commitment to communicate frequently with our community during this time of change, we want to provide a brief update on several important issues related to transportation services.

A Message for Students:  As we approach winter break, many of you may feel the pressure of finals season. We want to remind you to take care of yourself as you study, finish projects, and prepare for winter break.
