As part of its continuing effort to address a variety of challenges faced by the Sto-Rox School District, the board of school directors successfully reached agreements with not one, but two of its work groups: teachers and Act 93 administrators.

One of Sto-Rox’s teachers is up for an award from The Education Partnership, a valued district partner. Shyanne Rippole, an English teacher at the Jr./Sr. High School, is in the running for the Rookie Teacher of the Year! Voting for the award is open, and will run until Friday May 19 until 5:00 p.m.

There are less than three months until the end of the school year, and for Sto-Rox seniors those months are going to fly by. Click through for important dates, times, and events you need to be aware of, as compiled by Guidance Counselor Joe Herzing.

One after another, plates of whipped cream were smushed into the faces of Sto-Rox teachers, administrators and a security guard. The students who did the smushing were not punished. On the contrary, they were being awarded for good behavior.

The Sto-Rox School District will hold a Special Legislative Voting Meeting on Tuesday, May 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the Sto-Rox Jr./Sr. High School Cafeteria, 1105 Valley Street, McKees Rocks, PA 15136. The meeting will be for general business and any other such business that may come before the board. District residents and local media are encouraged to attend.

Sto-Rox School District gave an update Monday night on its progress in the first of the state recovery plan. Superintendent of Schools Megan Van Fossan and School Board President Cameron Culliver led a presentation that focused on successes and achievements both inside and outside the classroom. The town hall meeting took place at the Father Ryan Arts Center/Sto-Rox Public Library at Focus on Renewal, a district partner.
