No Unpackaged Snacks! We are no longer allowing unpackaged snacks, specifically candy or sweet treats, to be brought into the school. If students want to bring candy like Gummy Bears, or cookies like Oreos, into the school, they need to be pre-packaged. This move has been made in order to keep our students safe. We have had some unwanted items come into our school via food items, specifically sweet. If these types of snacks are found they will be thrown away. | No Phones During the Day! Students will be instructed to store their phones at the beginning of each day, and then they will be able to use them again again at the end once they have exited the building. We are attempting to alleviate the stresses that these phones place on students and staff each day at school. | Charge ChromeBooks! Please continue to help us by making certain that student ChromeBooks are charged and ready each day when students come to school. This helps us tremendously with work production and success each day. |
