Principal's Message

Greetings HMS Families,


Hazelbrook is starting to buzz with excitement as we welcomed back many office staff back this week and prepare for teachers on Monday. As we plan for students to return, it’s important that you know we have updated our student cell phone policy for the 2022-2023 school year. This was done in partnership with Tualatin High School and aligns with TTSD’s new cell phone policy which aims to foster student resilience, encourage emotional regulation, and to allow learners to be mentally present during class time. Social media and text notifications distract both students and adults, detracting from our learning environment. This policy will be implemented at all of TTSD’s Middle and comprehensive High Schools. Please see the language below from our student handbook which will be explicitly shared with students during the first week of school and consistently throughout the school year:


CELL PHONES & ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Use of cell phones, and personal electronic devices, are not allowed during classroom time unless required as a part of a specific personal health plan (ie. diabetic regulation apps for example). This also means that students may not take phones into the hallways or bathrooms, staff offices, or other areas while classes are in session. Cell phones must be silenced and away during class time. If parents need to contact students during the school day, they should call the main office and a note will be delivered to students. Texting, social media use, or making phone calls from cell phones is not allowed during defined class session times.


Students may have access to their phones during lunch and passing times only. Students are not allowed to record others, take pictures of others (students or staff), and/or share or post without the other’s consent. If this occurs, the school will respond, including contacting the involved students’ family to provide appropriate support and follow up.


Furthermore, students who film staff, or other students, without permission and/or share those videos, or photos, on social media or with other peers can create harm for members of our learning community. Students who film and share photos or videos that portray students in a negative or harmful way will be subject to disciplinary actions along with continued education and support.


Students and parents will also notice cell phone “Silent and Away” signs in all classrooms and office spaces throughout the building as we implement this policy.


The main differences to highlight to your student are:

  • Cell phone use is no longer allowed in ANY location DURING class time.

  • Common signs in the classrooms will indicate cell phone use is not permitted.

  • Cell phones may ONLY be used before/after the school day, during passing time, and during lunch time.


Please partner with us and refrain from texting or calling your student’s phone outside of their lunch time. If you need to get a message to your student, please call the main office. As always has been the case, students can be excused from school for appointments by calling our attendance office.


Thank you for your support and understanding as we collectively improve the social interactions and academic focus for our community.


Take good care,

Lisa Dailey

Saludos a las familias de HMS,


Hazelbrook está comenzando a emocionarse al recibir a muchos miembros del personal de la oficina de regreso esta semana y nos preparamos para recibir a los maestros el lunes. Mientras planeamos el regreso de los estudiantes, es importante que sepa que hemos actualizado nuestra política de teléfonos celulares para estudiantes para el año escolar 2022-2023. Esto se hizo en asociación con Tualatin High School y se alinea con la nueva política de teléfonos celulares del Distrito Escolar Tigard-Tualatin(TTSD) que tiene como objetivo fomentar la resiliencia de los estudiantes, fomentar la regulación emocional y permitir que los alumnos estén mentalmente presentes durante el tiempo de clase. Las redes sociales y las notificaciones de texto distraen tanto a los estudiantes como a los adultos, lo que resta valor a nuestro entorno de aprendizaje. Esta política se implementará en todas las escuelas secundaria y preparatoria de TTSD. Consulte el lenguaje a continuación de nuestro manual del estudiante que se compartirá explícitamente con los estudiantes durante la primera semana de clases y de manera constante durante todo el año escolar:


TELÉFONOS CELULARES Y DISPOSITIVOS ELECTRÓNICOS

El uso de teléfonos celulares y dispositivos electrónicos personales no está permitido durante el horario de clases a menos que se requiera como parte de un plan de salud personal específico (es decir, aplicaciones de regulación de la diabetes, por ejemplo). Esto también significa que los estudiantes no pueden llevar teléfonos a los pasillos o baños, oficinas del personal u otras áreas mientras las clases están en sesión. Los teléfonos celulares deben estar silenciados y alejados durante el tiempo de clase. Si los padres necesitan comunicarse con los estudiantes durante el día escolar, deben llamar a la oficina principal y se les entregará una nota a los estudiantes. No se permite enviar mensajes de texto, usar las redes sociales o hacer llamadas telefónicas desde teléfonos celulares durante los horarios definidos de las sesiones de clase.


Los estudiantes pueden tener acceso a sus teléfonos solo durante el almuerzo y durante el transcurso a su siguiente clases. Los estudiantes no pueden grabar a otros, tomar fotografías de otros (estudiantes o personal) y/o compartir o publicar sin el consentimiento de los demás. Si esto ocurre, la escuela responderá, incluso se comunicará con la familia de los estudiantes involucrados para brindar el apoyo y los seguimientos adecuados.


Además, los estudiantes que filman al personal u otros estudiantes sin permiso y/o comparten esos videos o fotos en las redes sociales o con otros compañeros pueden causar daño a los miembros de nuestra comunidad de aprendizaje. Los estudiantes que filmen y compartan fotos o videos que retraten a los estudiantes de manera negativa o dañina estarán sujetos a medidas disciplinarias junto con educación y apoyo continuos.


Los estudiantes y los padres también notarán los letreros de teléfono celular "Silencio y Ausente" en todas las clases y espacios de oficina en todo el edificio a medida que implementamos esta política.


Las principales diferencias para resaltarle a su estudiante son:

  • Ya no se permite el uso de teléfonos celulares en NINGÚN lugar DURANTE el horario de clases.

  • Los letreros comunes en las clases indicarán que no se permite el uso de teléfonos celulares.

  • Los teléfonos celulares SOLAMENTE se pueden usar antes o después del día escolar, durante el tiempo de descanso y durante la hora del almuerzo.


Asóciese con nosotros y absténgase de enviar mensajes de texto o llamar al teléfono de su estudiante fuera de la hora del almuerzo. Si necesita enviar un mensaje a su estudiante, llame a la oficina principal. Como siempre ha sido el caso, los estudiantes pueden excusarse de la escuela para citas llamando a nuestra oficina de asistencia.


Gracias por su apoyo y comprensión mientras mejoramos colectivamente las interacciones sociales y el enfoque académico de nuestra comunidad.


Cuídese,

Lisa Dailey
