Royals Report
#7 - November 21, 2019
Principal's Point
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoys the extended time off (Wednesday through Friday) from school next week. It's hard to believe December is fast approaching and we only have 18 instructional days before Winter Break. During the next few weeks, I encourage all students to remain focused on learning.
Congratulations to Samantha Wiechert and Heather Graziani on their Excellence is Everywhere award. Both were honored at the annual Kenton County School District Excellence is Everywhere banquet held November 7th and presented by the Team Kenton Foundation. I can't think of two more deserving individuals!

MyBusBuddie App
Parents and guardians interested in the status of the bus that transports their children can access a mobile app, MyBusBuddie via a smart phone, laptop, or home PC (as long as the device has Internet connectivity and can access the Web). If there is a question on the status of a particular bus, MyBusBuddie app will display the current status and location of that bus. Should the transportation department wish to inform users of a significant delay for a bus or all buses, this app can show the anticipated delay time, i.e. one hour delay due to weather. While everything possible is done to assure that the buses operate on schedule, situations arise that can cause delays in their arrival times at a student’s stop. If you should need further information about your child's bus status after checking MyBusBuddie app, please contact the Transportation Department at 859-356-0253.

SVA's Cell Phone Usage and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Policy:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IQtsLmnaT56Fif0swATynhQvTl2swSXM
This school year, SVA is allowing students in grades 4-8 to bring in school approved devices for classroom usage. With the continued support of our PTSA, we are moving closer and closer to 1:1 for our students but are not quite there yet. Recommended devices for students include Chromebooks and laptops. Information and permission forms will be sent home with all students in grades 4-8 or you can access the forms at bit.ly/SVABYOD if this is a program you want your child to participate in. Cell phones and tabletsare not recommended as a BYOD for educational purposes and therefore will not be an approved device. Cell phones and tablets are to be left in student backpacks/lockers during the school day unless directed by teacher for classroom use. We will review this change with students and teach new procedures at the start of this school year. We appreciate your help in reminding your child that cell phones should be off and stored in their backpacks/lockers at the start of the school day and should be taken home with them at dismissal. All communication to your child during the school day regarding changes in transportation for dismissal should be done through the main office.
