Smartwatches, Cell phones, and other Electronic Devices

We understand the need to communicate with your child/children who may be walking to school alone or with a friend and the choice to equip them with a phone or smart device. There are some rules about what happens to their personal electronic devices when they arrive in our care.

• First, they are not allowed to bring their phone or watch to class. It should be powered down and placed in a locker with a lock. We are not responsible for lost or stolen devices placed in an unlocked locker. You can purchase an appropriate lock at your local pharmacy. Students can also ask their teacher or the Main Office to hold their devices during the school day.
• Second, if your child is caught using the device in school, we have the right to confiscate it for the day. It will be returned to them at dismissal.
• Students can visit the Main Office to use the phone during the day if they need to contact a parent.

School Start Time: 8:35 AM

A gentle reminder that the school bell rings at FEB at 8:35 am with students being marked tardy or late beginning at 8:45 am. Please plan for your child to arrive between 8:30 and 8:35 am each day to avoid lateness to school.

• If a student is absent or arriving late, email School Nurse Kim Barth.
• If a student is leaving early, email the teacher and be sure to copy someone in the Main Office as teachers are not always able to check their email during the school day.

Teacher Webpages

Have questions about what your child is learning in school? If the answer is yes, you can always take a look at the teacher webpages for all of the units of study in mathematics, reading, writing, science, and social studies. Our Special Area teachers have them, too!

• Students experiencing a fever must be fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of medicine before returning to school

Bellows loves to recognize and celebrate students, especially on their birthdays. We do ask that you adhere to the following guidelines when asking to decorate a child's locker:

• The office staff must be notified at least 24 hours ahead of time. Please email April and/or Jami during school hours to let them know, and include the names of 1-3 students decorating. (Only one parent needs to email.) alaychak@ryeneck.org or jsheeky@ryeneck.org Please do not email Mr. Scarantino directly.
• In the instance that we have emails for two (or more) groups of students to decorate one student’s locker, only the group in the first email received will be allowed to decorate.
• Students can decorate starting at 8:20 am, or after school, from 3:15 to 3:30. After school, students must be accompanied by a parent
• Maximum of 3 students decorating per locker
• NO BALLOONS (they set off the sprinklers)
• Students can decorate the outside of lockers only; students (or parents) can not open another student’s locker at any time
• Candy and sweet treats included in the decorations should be limited. Just what may fit on the outside of the locker without being excessive
• Please keep in mind, lockers are small, and decorations must be able to fit without limiting the function of the locker and/or touching the adjacent lockers
• Students who celebrate birthdays over the Summer will be invited to decorate at the end of June.
