👀👀Parents of 5th Grade Students: 👀👀
Please provide a friendly reminder to your child to keep their shirts tucked in during the school day. A majority of students have already started to wear belts as well, but please keep in mind that by January 8, 2024, ALL 5th-grade students will be required to have their shirts tucked in AND wear a belt. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
📵📵Cell Phone/Electronic Device Usage📵📵

👀If students are found using their device, their device will be confiscated and a parent will be required to pick up the device from the front office. If another infraction is noted, as per district policy, a fee will be enforced in order to retrieve the device.
☑️Please speak with your child about this policy to ensure they understand. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
⌚📵 Smart Watch Policy Reminder 📵⌚
As a friendly reminder, please note that smart watches with cell phone connectivity are not allowed to be worn by students, as per page 58 of the Student Code of Conduct. If a student is found wearing such a device at school, it will be confiscated, and a parent will be responsible for coming to pick it up.
