"As parents, we very quickly felt that Ms. Stone was a partner in our children’s learning. She takes the time to get to know her students and become an advocate for them. When our son Cristian was a Grade 3 student in Ms. Stone’s class, he began to experience migraines. Ms. Stone recognized changes in Cristian that may not have been obvious to someone who did not know him. She promptly reached out to us so that we were aware. Her care and diligence resulted in our seeking medical attention and learning both that Cristian did in fact suffer from migraine headaches and that he required glasses for reading. With large classroom sizes, and varied student needs, it would have been easy for Ms. Stone to miss some of the symptoms that Cristian was experiencing. It stood out to us that she was in tune with the individual needs of her students. Ms. Stone went above and beyond to partner with us by sharing details of the class time, which helped us gain a better understanding of what may be happening."
