Mandatory Student ID Cards
We hope this message finds you well. As we continue to prioritize the safety and security of our students and staff, we would like to remind you of an important requirement for all students.
Mandatory Student ID Cards
To ensure a safe and secure environment within our school, it is mandatory for all students and staff to wear their Student ID cards at all times while on the school premises. This is an essential part of our safety measures, allowing us to easily identify students and personnel.
We kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that your child has their Student ID card with them when coming to school. This small but vital card should be carried with them at all times. If your child has lost their ID card, please contact the school's Office Manager, Tracey Suprena to request a replacement.
By adhering to this requirement, we can maintain a safe and efficient school environment, which ultimately benefits all students. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and support in our efforts to prioritize the safety and well-being of our school community. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Cell Phone, Earbuds, and Chromebook Use
Please remind your student that their cellphone and earbuds need to be put in their backpacks during the day. They should not be used in the halls, cafeteria, or at recess. Also, please remind them to charge and remember to bring in their Chromebooks to school. Thank you for your help.
