Quarter 2 Wrap Up
Middle School Feathers
Middle Hawks
Boring Reminders
- Valentine's Day is around the corner. While classes may offer options for Valentine's Day activities, you do not have to send in anything. If you choose to, it must be small, pre-wrapped, and nut allergy friendly. Additionally, cupcakes, donuts, cakes, etc are not appropriate. Please do not have deliveries for students sent to the school. Students cannot safely carry glass vases, balloons, etc around the building all day.
- Food Deliveries and Breakfast: We understand that many students eat in the car in the morning. Students will need to finish breakfast before entering in the classroom. Please know that students cannot accept UberEats or DoorDash at school. This has largely impacted our Middle School Hawks. Students are attempting to order UberEats and DoorDash and then wait outside for their delivery (during class time).

If the weather is cold, students will eat in the cafeteria.

Technology
We are noticing that our students are having challenges with technology boundaries. While we are a BYOD school, technology use is still managed to support learning. Here are a few important reminders for you to review with your child.
- Airpods are prohibited during academic time. Please have your child secure their Airpods in a safe space during academic times.
- Airtags are prohibited without parental consent. While you (a parent) may require your child to keep an Airtag turned on, please emphasize that it is illegal to secretly place an Airtag on a friend or another student to track their whereabouts.
- Cellphones may be used for searching or doing structured activities in class; however, cellphones should never be used to take videos or pictures of other students/staff without their permission. Students should not take calls during the school day and their phone sounds should be turned off.
- Apple Watches and other Smartwatches, should be silenced during the day.
