Nurse/Health Services

At Stone Middle, Karlie Ewell, RN and Erica Moore, Nurse's Assistant, are on duty to take care of Stone Middle School students' health needs.  The nurse's office is located in 'B-building' just around the corner from the Asst. Principal's office.

Let's work together to keep our students healthy! Remember to take your children in to see their regular family doctor for routine health screenings, annual checkups, and periodic immunizations.

Help stop the spread of communicable illnesses by teaching your children to wash their hands frequently and to use a tissue when coughing or sneezing, especially during cold and flu season.

Library Services

Middle school students visit the library approximately every two weeks through Language Arts classes. Since library hours are 7:55 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily, students may also visit before school, during lunch, and briefly at the end of the day. In addition, students may use the library any time during the school day providing they have a signed note from their teacher giving them permission to be out of class. Contact Andrea Pollard, apollard@northlamar.net, if you have any questions.

Counseling Services

There are the two guidance counselors serving all students at Stone, Jennifer Bryant and Kathy Barker.  Visiting counselors from an assortment of state and local agencies may also meet periodically with some of our students who demonstrate a need for more specific counseling services.

North Lamar Police Department

North Lamar ISD is fortunate to have four dedicated police officers on duty to serve and protect the students at all six of our campuses. Chief Boaz, Officer Akard, and Officer Dagenhart, and Officer Tuttle maintain direct contact with students to make them feel safe while at school, and to establish a rapport with them that will benefit the children and our local citizenry now and in the future.  Contact Officer Akard, jakard@northlamar.net, for issues related to Stone Middle School.

Special Education

A variety of Special Education services are offered at Stone.  Resource Room is for students who consistently struggle to learn in regular core classes.  Some regular education students may benefit from frequent visits to the Inclusion room set up for each grade level where certified teachers or assistants offer help in understanding lessons and asssignments. Gifted and Talented students at Stone are served through optional Advanced level courses in the four core subjects.  Students with severe learning disabilities may spend much of their day interacting with classmates in the E.C.C. program on the middle school campus.  Check with a school counselor for more information about your child's participation in any of these Special Education programs.
