Stanley Welcomes
Kristi Franks

Stanley is so excited to welcome Kristi Franks as our new Principal.  This is Mrs. Franks 15th year in education.  She is a graduate from Newman University and Wichita State University.  Mrs. Franks grew up on the south side of Wichita and taught several years right here at Stanley first as a classroom teacher for years and then as a Title I Resource teacher for two years.  Mrs. Franks then went to the Mulvane Public School system where she served as a Principal for 5 years.  Mrs. Franks comes back to Stanley this year, having worked as the Assistant Principal last year at Kensler Elementary.  Mrs. Franks has many interests.  She likes spending time with her husband and two daughters.  She also enjoys jogging, reading, crocheting, and going to craft shows.  Of course, her work is also extremely important to her, and she enjoys learning more about how she can better support student achievement and the emotional and social development of the students with whom she works.

Site Council & PTO
WANTS YOU

Stanley Elementary Site Council and PTO invites you to be an active partner in the education of your child.  We want your great ideas and input! Participation is FREE.  There is no jointer fee or monthly dues.  We have room for additional members on both organizations.  The Site Council and PTO meet the first Monday of every month in the Stanley library.  The Site Council meeting starts at 4:45 p.m. and the PTO meeting follows immediately at about 5:15 p.m.  The first meeting of the 2008-2009 school year will be August 25th.  These two organizations play a very important part in budget items, teacher needs, building needs, dress code, and discipline policy, just to name a few.  Please consider giving some of your time to one or both of these two very instrumental service organizations.
