Per School Board Policy 3245, found in our Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, students have the following Communication Device Expectations:
- While on school grounds the device is to be off and put away at all times.
- Taking pictures or videos is strictly prohibited.
- If your child needs to contact home during school hours, a request to use the school phone in the office can be made.
- Parents and students accept responsibility for the device. The school is not liable for a phone, watch or other device that is lost, damaged, or stolen.
- If your child is not following the expectations, a verbal warning will be given, and the device will be asked to be put away. After the second infraction, the device will be confiscated and placed in the office for parent pick up.
If you would like a Communication Device Authorization Form for your child please contact the office.

Title 1 Survey
As a parent/guardian of a child attending a Title I school, you are an important part of our team. Your input is vital as we plan and implement parent involvement activities in our school. The focus of all Title I programs is to help eligible students meet the same high academic standards expected of all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status and background.
A Title I survey provides us with important information and feedback to assist us in supporting all students and families. This survey is confidential and will be used in future planning of our parent involvement programs and school events.
