To all of our friends in Stonemill Farms, the Washington County School Board (WCSB) is in the midst of planning new middle school boundaries for our children with initial board discussions going on now. It was made clear at the meeting that only the voices of parents and families in the community will be able to influence the outcome of the boundary decision outside of any opinion from board members.
For those of you who don’t know, there are currently 3 plans under consideration by the WCSB. Plan G would result in Stonemill Farms being split down the middle with homes south of Lake Road moving to the Cottage Grove Middle School boundary area. In order to stop Plan G from impacting the fabric of our relationships in Stonemill, we need every family in our community to get involved and send a letter to the school board voicing our shared concern. We are also asking that you sign this petition to keep Stonemill at Lake Middle.
While not every family would be impacted by the adoption of Plan G regarding children attending a new school, the disruption to the relations developed at Liberty Ridge and the value that the continuity of our school and neighborhood provides to our kids would be devastating.
Please Help!

I will go to Middle school 2018-2019 and I really enjoy knowing so many kids from all of Stonemill. We talk about going to LMS together and we are all really excited. I don't want that to change. Please say no to plan G. Thanks!
We are a military family that moves every 2 years. We just arrived in Stonemill Farms last summer and chose this area for it's schools and community. Our children move enough and have been the "new kid" far too often. Please keep us at Lake Middle school.
My son would be devastated to leave Lake Middle School. He spent the year getting familiar with Jr. High at Lake Middle. He's made many friends and is close with many of the teachers. I can't imagine sending him to a different school next year for 7th grade.
We picked this house based on schools. We picked Stonemill specifically for Liberty Ridge, Lake Middle and East Ridge. Others will do the same. It all comes down to resale value. This neighborhood is about kids and kids need quality schools.
Please keep the Stonemill Farms neighborhood together. Tearing apart friends & their relationships at middle school age is the worst timing and divides the sense of community we have worked so hard to achieve for 5+ years. Vote NO to plan G.
This is terrible! Family's have purchase homes with the school district being a huge factor in the purchase . If parents wanted their children to go to cottage grove school they would have moved to cottage grove. Please leave the border alone! New homes should move but existing homes should be left alone! Children are loosing sleep because of this change....
It makes no sense to split Stonemill and have our kids go to a different town for middle school. The obviously split is Bailey Road. Keep our kids together! Please say NO to plan G. It just doesnt make sense.

This boundary change has not been well thought out. Dividing a planned community like Stonemill farms is directly counter to what Woodbury attempts to build in neighborhoods. Do not pass a plan that divides a tight community.
