Technology Procedures
You may remember that we did some re-teaching of expectations in January of last year.
We have done the same this year. All students were instructed on the expectations for cell phones and iPads this week. I have attached the full document.
We want to see a significant reduction in referrals for this area. Please reinforce at home using the attached document.
