Parents! We need your help...
We are having trouble with "Air Drops" in the cafeteria during lunch. We would appreciate if you could speak to your child about not doing these and turning off this feature on their phone. We know that kids like having their devices during lunch, but if Air Dropping continues, we will be forced to take a hard look at our policy and re-think this lunch time privilege. Thank you!
