stoney creek giving tree
It’s that time of year when the Giving Tree will be up and fully decorated in the senior locker bank! Not only is the tree a sign that break is coming soon, but also a symbol of helping others in our own Stoney Creek family enjoy the holiday season.
Students and staff are welcome to visit our sign-up genius to select your gift card options. We request that all gift cards are returned by 3 pm on December 13th so we have ample time to organize the donations for our families. When students return a gift card to the counseling office, they will be given a paper ornament on which they can write their family’s name and any kind words to the receiving families. All ornaments will be hung on the Giving Tree in the senior locker bank to help decorate it for the holiday season.
If your family is in need this holiday and would benefit from our Stoney Creek Giving Tree, please fill out this
confidential form or visit the counseling office to pick up a physical copy. The requests are due back to the counseling office on December 11.
Lets make this holiday great for every one of our Stoney Creek families!

SAFETY AND SECURITY
SAFETY AND SECURITY IS A TOP PRIORITY!
The safety and security of all students and staff at Stoney Creek is always a top priority. To help us in these efforts, please see the information below:
The safety and security of all students and staff at Stoney Creek is always a top priority. To help us in these efforts, please see the information below:
- Students can enter through 3 entrances: the Main Doors, the Athletics Doors, and the Auditorium Doors.
- Campus will remain closed throughout the school day. All grades will have lunch on campus.
- Students are NOT to utilize fast food delivery services. For example, DoorDash, Grub Hub, Instacart, or Uber Eats, etc. for food delivery.
- If students are traveling to other campuses throughout the day, they are asked to check out of SCHS in the Attendance Office and check back in when they return.
- Students are encouraged to utilize their assigned lockers to minimize their belongings in the classroom.
If you see something, say something. Please report all safety and security concerns to the Main Office Staff or to Officer Drehmer.
rcs cyber security update
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our cybersecurity measures, and to safeguard your student’s sensitive information, we are initiating a new protocol for how we will manage student passwords.
Why is this necessary?
Regular password updates are essential to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and to protect sensitive data. By changing passwords periodically, we strengthen our defenses against cyber threats and ensure the safety of our students' personal information. These practices align with several professional organizations including the US Government Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (www.CISA.gov).
How will this be implemented?
There will be two phases for this plan based on students’ grade levels. Students in Kindergarten through 5th grade will have a new password assigned to them on August 7, 2024. The passwords will be randomly generated consisting of age-appropriate dictionary words. These new passwords will still be accessible in Synergy (TeacherVUE, ParentVUE, and StudentVUE), so you will still be able to look up your student’s login information.
Students in 6th through 12th grade will be required to change their passwords during the fall. A date will be determined in collaboration with the leadership teams at our secondary buildings. Please note that secondary students in Rochester Community Schools will still be able to create their own passwords. The new process this fall will involve changing students’ default passwords to something that has a higher cybersecurity standard and forcing password changes at a determined interval.
What do you need to do?
Please talk with your students to inform them about these upcoming changes and consider reviewing the provided resources below to help you and your family navigate ParentVUE and StudentVUE. Teachers and staff will all be informed of these changes and will be available to support students throughout this transition at the start of the school year.
Available Resources:
The Technology Services Department has created a series of resources that will assist in this process. If you have a question or need support, please do not hesitate to reach out.
• We’ve included a Step-by-Step Guide to view student’s login and password in ParentVUE (Attached)
• Video tutorials are available to navigate ParentVUE and StudentVUE, both of which include directions on how to find your student’s district login and password.
• Connect directly with a Technology Services team member: [email protected] or (248) 726-3099.
