Thank you for your understanding!
Town Meeting
Technology Use
I spent a lot of time this week mediating bullying happening on "Airtime." I had a parent complaint that her daughter was on Instagram in our school in spite of the fact she doesn't allow her daughter to have an account. We also had a student videoing in a classroom that came to me through a student complaint.
Phones are simply a non-negotiable. It is a district policy. It is dangerous. It is a distraction. Please send the message to your students that phone use of any kind will be wriiten up as tech violations and appropriate consequences given. If you are struggling with this, I will help you.
Office Traffic
- If a child needs to see me, Ms. Menard, or Ms. Mann please call ahead to see if we are available. If we are not we will call when we are free.
- Please do not give students passes to the office during Study Block. The amount of traffic for locker, bathroom and drinks from the cafeteria is already alot to manage.
- Students who need an emergency break to keep from escalating or becoming dangerous are still free to go without the call ahead-But please call to let us know they're coming
- No restrictions on bathroom use are necessary
Thank you for your help!
