Welcome to the Distance Learning page for Mr. Stone's students!
Office Hours: School Days 10:20AM - 1:20PM through my Remind class accounts. I am limited to 150 students per class so I have opened a new class, Stone Bio 2, for any students/parents that need to sign up (please refer to signup instructions above). ALL of my students must be signed up in order to communicate with me while we are conducting Distance Learning. This is mandatory for students and optional for parents, but highly recommended.
Please DO NOT sign up for Stone Bio as that Remind class is closed!! All new signups must be done for Stone Bio 2. See signup instructions above.
I have added a new contact tool, google voice. My number is 786-509-9781.

Makeup and Catch up day!!! No new assignments. Use this time to get caught up. Don't waste this opportunity.
Many of you still need to sign up for quizizz and join your respective class. Do it now please, don't wait any longer. Also, many of you have not done any of your Edgenuity so use this time to get caught up. Plus, I have reset Edgenuity components that had less than acceptable results (below 70%) so make sure you go back and do them again for an acceptable score.
Wednesday- 4/1
"NOT FOOLING AROUND" DAY.......get it? LOL
Many of you have still not signed up for Quizizz and joined your respective class. Regardless, I have reassigned all of the activities from the week of 3/16-3/20 to allow anyone who has not done them yet the chance to make them up. Please sign up and join ASAP so you do not fall behind. Because many of you have still not caught up on all your prior assignments, I have decided to not issue any new ones today so that everyone has another opportunity to get caught up. Please take advantage of this opportunity to not fall behind.
I will not be posting any negative grades in the gradebook until ALL students have had ample time to get adjusted during these trying times we are all enduring together.
***NEWS FLASH*** Beginning on Monday, April 6 the MDCPS will begin to take official daily school attendance.
All you have to do to record you are present in school is log on to your student portal at least once during the school day. Teachers will not be taking your attendance. My advice is that you make a habit of logging on to the portal at the start of each day to ensure that you are marked present in school. I hope that helps.
Thursday- 4/2
In the immortal words of Britney Spears, "Oops I Did it Again!!"
That's right folks, after speaking with several students today who are still struggling to adjust to our new reality, I have decided to extend makeup and catch up. Therefore, there will still be no new assignments. I hope that this can help ease the anxiety many of you are feeling.
Please be aware that today and tomorrow, I will not be as available as usual as I have to be involved in mandatory District
Distance Learning 2.0 professional development sessions. I will do my best to help you when possible. I, like you, also have assignments to do. We are all in this together so stay healthy and stay strong. GO COUGARS!!!!
