Thank you to White, Greer, and Maggard
We are so grateful to White, Greer, and Maggard for their generous donation of Edythe J. Hayes t-shirts. Our students were thrilled to receive their new shirts on Thursday, and we distributed over 1,100 in total.
Electronic devices (i.e., cell phones, tablets, etc.):
Our current cell phone policy states mobile device use will be allowed in the cafeteria and classrooms prior to the start of school, and during lunch. Educational use is allowed at teacher discretion. If electronic devices are confiscated by school personnel, the teacher will return it to the student on the first offense. On the second offense, admin will keep the phone until the end of the day. On the third offense, a parent must pick up phone. Phones may be kept for five school days for additional offense, per the Fayette County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct (pg. 33, section X.). If a student has continued issues with a device during the school day, administration may develop an individualized plan for the student. However, we recommend students keep electronic devices in their lockers or back packs during the school day. We will not be responsible for lost or stolen electronic devices.
We're working to create a classroom environment that maximizes learning time. Your help in encouraging your student to silence and put away their phone during class and hallway transitions would be greatly appreciated.
