Gentle Reminders
Lunch- We do not accept deliveries from Door Dash, Uber Eats, or other forms of food delivery for students.
Dress Code- Please ensure that your child is following the Coweta County Dress Code. Students who are not in dress code will be required to call home for a change of clothes. See Dress Code Guidelines as a refresher.
As students transition from elementary school to middle school, the dress code is adjusted for this age level. These guidelines are set by the district.
Our biggest concern is for both male and female students. If they decide to wear jeans with holes above the knee, they must wear leggings underneath. Holes are not permitted to expose the skin. Please help guide your child to be in dress code each day.
Thank you!

Cell Phone Policy
Parents, we need your help! Students are required to power off electronic devices and to keep them in their bookbags (along with earbuds and Airpods) during the instructional day.
In recent years there has been an increasing numbers of students using their phones or other electronic devices in classrooms:
to take pictures of students and text them to others or to post them on social media
to cheat
to text with others during instruction
to play online games
to communicate with their peers in other classes
Using cell phones and other electronic devices in the classroom can be disruptive, interrupts instruction, and can be hurtful to students whose pictures are being taken. We will continue to do our best to monitor this and to make sure students understand the expectations and consequences when using their phones or devices in class. Our cell phone policy will be posted on our website, parent weekly newsletter, and a reminder is announced each morning on the intercom.
We have a phone designated for student use during the day for emergencies if needed located in our front office. Our office staff will also make sure any parent message left during the day is forwarded to students during the day as needed.
If students have their devices out, on, or are using them during the instructional day, parents will be contacted, and following a reminder/warning, progressive consequences will be assigned
Please help us by supporting this policy so we can maximize instruction, protect the integrity of assessments, and protect the privacy of our students. If you have questions about the use of cellphones/electronic devices in school, please don’t hesitate to contact an administrator.
