Just a friendly reminder that students should not be using cell phones or smart watches during the school day. All devices should be turned off and stored in their lockers.
These devices can be a distraction to students and others around them and can interfere with instructional time and learning.
If your child needs to contact home during the school day, please have them go through Miss Stephanie in the office. All calls home need to be made through the office so we can keep track of who is being contacted, the reason for the call, and any changes to pick-up, drop-off, or other arrangements.
