Cell Phone Policy Cell Phones must be powered off and stored in backpacks once students reach campus. They are not permitted to turn them on at any time during the day and until they leave campus. Smartwatches can be worn as long as students are not texting or receiving phone calls that disrupt learning. If a child needs to reach you, or vice versa, we will use our school phone system. Students who do not comply with the policy run the risk of having devices confiscated by administration until end of day or a parent/guardian can come retrieve it. | Dress for Success! Clothing for school should be comfortable and appropriate. Please follow these guidelines when choosing outfits for each day:
| Head Lice Policy If a child is identified as having live head lice, the child must be treated at home and must be accompanied to the school clinic the next day with the parent to check for live head lice. If no nits are found, further rechecking will not be done. If nits are found, the student will be readmitted and checked in 8-10 days. If live lice are found, the student will NOT be readmitted and the entire process will need to be repeated. Please see the attached flyer at the bottom of this newsletter for more information. |

Outside Meal Procedures Outside meals are defined as food from a commercial establishment (restaurant) that is brought to the school by a parent/guardian. BPS policy indicates that only individuals on the student contact list are permitted to bring in or drop off a meal for their child. Meals dropped off will be safeguarded in the front office to protect instructional time. | Birthday/ Celebration Treats Any food items brought into school for birthdays or celebrations must be store-bought and pre-packaged. No homemade food items will be allowed due to student allergies and special diets. | Birthday Books!
