A Message from Our Principal
Dear Parents,
As principal of Stevens Intermediate School, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for the 2022–2023 school year. We are very excited to have students filling our school with energy and enthusiasm on each school day. Our goal at SIS is to make each student feel welcome, supported, safe, and connected to the SIS family.
We recognize the importance of a student’s family in their education. We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:
- Attends school daily and arrives on time (7:45–7:57 a.m.), ready for the day’s learning experience. Students who are tardy (after 8:00 a.m.) miss important announcements and work.
- Completes all homework assignments given by teachers.
- Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills.
- Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life.
- Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject.
- Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and have a productive life.
- Respects students and staff of SIS through actions and words.
Please make sure you take time to read through the student handbook with your student(s).
Our open house will be on Monday, August 15 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Please do not arrive early. Plan on bringing student supplies to lighten their load on the first day of school.
Please call me if you need any support or have any questions!
Sincerely,
Venita Dennis
Principal
L.J. Stevens Intermediate School

Importance of Attendance: Studies show that absences can impact a student’s education. Missing school days can add up quickly! Missing two (2) days a month times nine (9) months means a child has missed 10% of the year and is considered truant! Studies show this pattern causes a student to likely fail reading and/or math. If a student is not sick, they should be at school!
