Chromebook Distribution
Chromebooks were distributed during Social Studies classes last week. If your student was absent, we have their chromebook and they will be given it this week.
All students will be receiving a new chromebook and charger. This chromebook will be your student's responsibility until the end of 8th grade when it will be collected back.
If you have paid the TIF this year, it will carry over to this chromebook. If you have not yet paid the TIF for the school year, please do by clicking on this link. https://coatesvillearea.revtrak.net/casd-technology/

If you student has returned their chromebook for repair, we do have a list of the chromebooks that are out.

Black History Month and Kindness Month
February is an important month. We celebrate the accomplishments of the many Black Americans that have impacted our history. Each morning on the announcements students are learning about a new person. Teachers are invited to share more information with students throughout the day. On Friday, a trivia question is asked about the announcements from the week. Students with the correct answers are put into a drawing for a small prize. Congratulations to Allie Condo who was this week's winner. She was one of many students who knew that Katherine Johnson began working in aeronautics as a "computer" in 1952, and after the formation of NASA, performed the calculations that sent astronauts into orbit in the early 1960s.
February is also Kindness Month. Our Mental Health Fair on January 27th started conversations with students about kindness, empathy and feelings. Throughout this month we will be focusing on kindness and rewarding our students for their kind actions. Staff will be keeping an extra eye to catch our students being kind and giving them ROCKStar tickets for it.

Cell Phone Usage at Scott
We have many students taking their phones out during class and refusing to put them away. We have students taking their phones with them to the restrooms and making bad decisions. We also have students using their phones to take pictures and/or videos of students and staff without their knowledge. Many of these actions are receiving suspensions as a consequence.
Our district policy at the secondary level states that a student's phone should be off and away unless a teacher has allowed for the phone to be in use. It also states that a student should put the phone away or turn it over when asked.
Moving forward at Scott, if administration has to get involved with a student using a cell phone inappropriately or refusing to put it away, the privilege to be able to have it on them during the day will be taken away. Students will either be asked to keep their phone at home or turn it into the main office at the beginning of the day, and retrieve it at the end of the day.
This is only for students whose cell phone usage is a problem. We can no longer tolerate the disruption, disrespect and distraction that cell phones are causing for these students.

Nurse's Corner
Just a couple reminders to families:
- Students should not be contacting families to be picked up when they are not feeling well. Students need to be assessed by the nurse and calls home will be made as needed. If families want to be called each time their student comes to the nurse, please email Ann Keenan, school nurse (keenana@casdschools.org). It is not standard practice to call home for non-urgent matters.
- Emergency Health Forms were sent home last week (lime green). If you did not complete the Emergency Health Information online, you must complete the paperwork and return it to the school nurse.
- Covid 19 is still causing illness and absences. Please continue to test and take precautions to avoid further spread. 5 days of isolation followed by 5 days of well-fitting masks is the current CDC guideline. (see below).
- The school nurse will be starting health screenings (Vision, Growth and Scoliosis). If your student has glasses, please make sure they have them for school.
Head Lice
