A NOTE FROM Ms. Jackson
As the school year comes to an end, your child may have fewer interactions with adults and peers, which can lead to feelings of isolation. To help keep them engaged, try using these tips and conversation starters below a few times each week.
Cell Phone Expectations
Cell phones have developed into the biggest distraction many kids have. To remove that distraction to learning, cell phones must be kept in a Yondr Pouch. Phones are expected to be placed in a pouch and locked during arrival and may be opened at dismissal. We have phones with outside lines in every classroom, so students can make necessary calls from there, the front office or guidance office.
***Exceptions for students using phones for medical purposes
