Where's the Bus?
Busing information is now available on the “MyBus” app. Please note that as students continue to register for school, route times will be adjusted. Please check the app frequently through the first week of school for the most current information.
Cell Phones at School
Cell phones and other personal electronic devices such as headphones and earbuds are commonplace items in our daily lives. And while they do serve a useful purpose in certain circumstances and/or for certain students, in general they are disruptive to our learning environment.
Therefore, we are enacting tighter protocols and procedures for the times and places where cell phones and other personal electronic devices can and cannot be used. We are also detailing the consequences to students for violating these rules after first trying gentle reminders and redirection.
Students will be provided with guidelines specific to their classroom by each of their teachers. If there are questions about expectations for a certain class, students and/or their parents/guardians are encouraged to talk to teachers first. If additional information is needed, please speak to the administrator who oversees the student’s grade level.
We know this represents a bit of a change to past practice, but we all agree that limiting students’ access to cell phones and other personal electronic devices during the school day will not only enhance learning environments, but will also encourage students to build positive interpersonal relationships outside of social media.
Thank you very much for your partnership and support.
