School Supplies
For the first day of school, students will need a backpack, notebook, and something to write with. Also, students who have been issued a Chromebook will be asked to have their device on the first day.
Personal Electronic Device Policy Change
In order to set a high standard of excellence and encourage students to actively engage in their learning, a change has been made to our personal electronic device policy.
In the spirit of compromise, utilizing personal electronic devices during the following times throughout the day will be acceptable:
- Before 7:40 and after 3:25 while on campus
- Between classes during passing times
- Lunch
The use/inappropriate use of any personal electronic devices will result in disciplinary action. Exceptions need to be approved through building administration. Parents and students are reminded that the school office phones are available for parents and students to contact each other for legitimate reasons, i.e. illness, personal matters. You can reach the main office by calling 743-4830.
- 1st Offense: Device is confiscated and turned into front office and verbal warning.
- 2nd Offense: Device is confiscated and turned into front office and (1) after-school detention.
- 3rd Offense: Device is confiscated and turned into front office and (2) after-school detentions.
- 4th Offense and subsequent offenses: Device is confiscated and turned into front office and (1) days of ISS.
*Confiscated devices can be picked up by the student between 3:25-3:30 pm in the main office.
First day of school
For students driving to campus, please be patient! Some students will not have received a parking permit before the first day and someone might be in your assigned spot if you received a permit at Open House. Please see Officer Barney as soon as possible to receive a parking permit. As a reminder, permits are $10. Spots #1-45 are reserved for staff members.
Breakfast and Lunch will once again be provided at no charge to our students this year. A la carte items will be available for purchase.
