Modern Oratory Contest
Week of November 4th
This month we are emphasizing the importance of kindness. Kindness is defined as a type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, rendering assistance or concern for others, without expecting praise or reward in return. It highlights the importance of empathy, understanding, and cooperation to create a more harmonious and caring world. Please look at the links below for ways to talk to your children about the importance of kindness and ways to show kindness.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this transition.

Exam Exemptions
We are launching a new Parent Portal that will provide parents with access to your child’s internet usage and a weekly summary email, even if they don’t log into the portal.
I have attached the information that you can see to notify you of the portal and its capabilities.

Cell Phone Use Policy
Effective Monday, September 16, 2024, students will be permitted to use their cell phones during their designated lunches. Specifically, students will be allowed to check emails and send text messages. If you need to reach your child during the school day, this is the best time to do so.
Please note that this is a privilege and any misuse of this privilege may result in its revocation. Outside of the designated times, students are not permitted to use their phones and all devices should be put away. Violations of this policy will be subject to our standard phone policy.
We ask for your support in discussing these expectations with your student to ensure a smooth transition. As always, we appreciate your continued support and partnership.
ALL IN ALL WIN

Also, there is no student pick up in the back of the school.
That area is reserved for bus pick up.
Campus Food Delivery
Food delivery services such as Uber Eats and Door Dash are strictly prohibited! When bringing food for your child, bring just enough for your child. There can be no sharing of food. If a circumstance should arise where you need to deliver food for a student other than your child, you MUST provide written consent from the other parent. This will ensure that students who may have food allergies do not eat something that may trigger a reaction.
