Dear Bridgeport Families,

I am reaching out today with an important reminder. Students are not allowed to use cell phones or smart watches at school. Recently, smart watches have been creating distractions for students and causing confusion for school staff when students communicate directly with families regarding transportation plans or illness.

We will be reminding students about our rules for smart watches. The first time a student uses it at school, they will be reminded not to. The second time, the teacher will ask to hold their watch for the remainder of the day. If a student uses their watch a third time, we will work with the student’s family to create a plan for storing the watch in the student’s backpack or in the teacher’s desk during the school day.

Smart watches are a great tool for communicating with your students, but please ensure students know that they are not allowed to use them during school hours. If possible, please adjust the settings so that they cannot be used from 7:45-2:20. Thank you for your help with this! Please reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Jordan Mills

Principal

Estimadas familias de Bridgeport,

Quiero comunicarles un recordatorio importante. Los estudiantes no pueden usar teléfonos celulares o relojes inteligentes en la escuela. Recientemente, los relojes inteligentes han estado creando distracciones para los estudiantes y causando confusión para el personal de la escuela cuando los estudiantes se comunican directamente con las familias con respecto a los planes de transporte o enfermedad.

Estaremos recordando a los estudiantes acerca de nuestras reglas para los relojes inteligentes. La primera vez que los estudiantes lo utilicen en la escuela, se les recordará que no lo hagan. La segunda vez, el profesor le pedirá que guarde el reloj durante el resto del día. Si un estudiante utiliza su reloj por tercera vez, trabajaremos con la familia del estudiante para crear un plan para guardar el reloj en la mochila del estudiante o en el escritorio del profesor durante la jornada escolar.

Los relojes inteligentes son una gran herramienta para comunicarse con sus estudiantes, pero por favor asegúrese de que los estudiantes sepan que no se les permite usarlos durante el horario escolar. Si es posible, por favor ajuste la configuración para que no puedan ser utilizados de 7:45-2:20. Gracias por su ayuda. Por favor, póngase en contacto con nosotros si tiene alguna pregunta.

Atentamente,

Jordan Mills

Directora

After learning about the Contemporary paintings of 17-year old artist Tyler Gordon, students will explore a key art element used in Tyler’s black, white and grey artwork - Value. During their specials class on Friday, February 9th, students will create a value grid using three colors to explore value scale or shading colors. At age 10, Tyler Gordon found a voice in art and has since painted some of the most celebrated people of our time.

Bridgeport's Art Literacy is a program of the Bridgeport PTO.

Después de conocer las pinturas contemporáneas del artista de 17 años Tyler Gordon, los estudiantes explorarán un elemento artístico principal utilizado en las obras de arte en blanco, negro y gris de Tyler: el valor. Durante su clase especial del viernes 9 de febrero, los estudiantes crearán una cuadrícula de valor utilizando tres colores para explorar la escala de valor o el sombreado de los colores. A los 10 años, Tyler Gordon encontró una voz en el arte y desde entonces ha pintado a algunas de las personas más célebres de nuestro tiempo.

Alfabetización Artística de Bridgeport es un programa de la PTO de Bridgeport.
