February Recap
PBIS
Students in all grades were recognized at the end of the month for exhibiting positive behaviors in school. Grade 6 students participated in a cupcake decorating party! Grade 7 and 8 students earned a "free-play" Friday! They played board games and spent time engaging in outdoor fun i.e. basketball, soccer, bean bag toss, bubbles, and more! The students expressed that they truly enjoy time with friends. We know that laughter is good for the soul!

Important Reminders
Student Mediation
Cell Phone Policy
Students are expected to comply with our district's cell phone policy, AP 5132! At Kenmoor, we have implemented the following protocol:
- Students are reminded daily during morning announcements to power off and store away all cell phone devices. They can store them in a backpack or locker.
- If a student has their device visible, it will be confiscated by an administrator and it will be returned to the student at the end of the school day.
- If the student fails to comply with the cell phone policy and continues to have their cell phone visible, it will be confiscated and a parent or guardian will be required to pick it up from the school.
- If a student continues to disregard the cell phone policy, they will be required to check in their phone with their Administrator in the mornings and check out their phone at the end of each school day.
