Our Mission Statement

The Mission of Leslie M. Stover Middle School in partnership with our community is to provide a safe and innovative environment that empowers students with knowledge and skills that will produce responsible, self-directed, lifelong learners who in turn will be productive citizens.

Principal's Message

Dear Stover Families:

In January our school was visited by a team of South Carolina educators representing "Schools To Watch." This was our second visit in two years. While we were recognized for our growth toward providing the best education possible for our students, we were not identified as a "School to Watch." We are very pleased to receive complements concerning our current programs because this is reflective of an improving educational environment for our community's children.

We are quickly approaching our first round of the state PASS exam. ELA writing will be administered March 16-17. Students will not be taking the MAP test in the spring due to budget shortfalls.

It is very important that your child has good regular attendance in preparation for state PASS testing. Please help by making sure that your child is present and on time every day and that they are prepared with their assignments. Please check eChalk class pages for weekly information concerning assignments and activities. All teachers can be reached either through email or calling our office at 438-7414.

Go Tigers!

Dennis Reeder, Principal

What's Happening at Stover

BAND PRAISE!

Health Alert

As our school year continues it is important to remember to practice good hygiene and healthy habits to keep our staff and students feeling well. Swine flu and Seasonal flu are both still a growing concern, and we want to assure our parents and community that Stover is being proactive in preventing the spread of germs. Over 200 students and more than 40 staff members received the Swine flu vaccination on November 18; however we must continue to protect ourselves and others to remain well. Please click here to see a letter from DHEC commissioner Earl Hunter on ways parents can help in our efforts to keep our students healthy!
