Jag News

Dear Jaguar Friends & Families,

I wanted to share that we are beginning to see an uptick in the use of student cell phones during class time. I bring this up as many other districts have taken further steps to curb student cell phone use at school and help reduce the negative mental health and academic impact that can result. The staff and I are continuing to have discussions about student cell phone usage. I recently shared information from Reardan-Edwall School District.

Please take a look at their cell phone plan https://drive.google.com/file/d/1avnbWpWcxzJRrsZy4GirD12nQK2v7iuO/view

We will continue to examine this ongoing issue and will provide information and ask for information.

Have a great week and Go Jags!

Aaron Kombol

Superintendent

As part of our website upgrade, we now are able to offer an anonymous "safety tip line" to our students and community. The tip line link is ground in the upper right hand corner of the website. Once a tip is received the information is passed on to law enforcement, mental health professionals or to the school district depending on the issue

Playground construction, for the most part, wrapped up last week. Currently, the only items that remains are the installation of the borders and wood fibers. We have been told both playgrounds will be fully operational on Thursday May 5th.

With picnic tables and places for adults to sit, please bring your Jags to play on the new play equipment! We do ask that you visit after school hours during the school week.
