School Uniform Guidelines
Updated Technology Guidelines/Cell Phone Policy
Please see the student handbook for more details:
Our goal is to create an environment that enhances learning and minimizes distractions. To support this, we will ensure that personal technology devices are not present in the learning space during school hours. We strongly encourage parents NOT to send students to school with cell phones, personal devices of any kind, and/or Smart Watches. Bluetooth earbuds are not permitted. Personal devices brought to school will be collected and stored until the end of the school day.
The STEM Academy @ Bartlett is a 1-to-1 iPad school. Each student is expected to bring a fully charged school issued iPad to school daily. Students will use their iPad daily in multiple classes. Only wired headphones are allowed at school.
We are thrilled to announce the release of our newly revised 2024-2025 Student Handbook! This comprehensive guide is designed to provide students and parents with all the essential information needed for a successful and enriching school year at The STEM Academy @ Bartlett.
Students and parents are expected to adhere to the guidelines in the student handbook. These guidelines have been put in place to protect the learning environment and provide a safe, structured school for all. Many adjustments were made based on feedback from parents, students, staff, and the community to ensure we are providing the best, safest, and most equitable learning experience for everyone. Some areas with major revisions are listed below:
New: Technology Guidelines/Cell Phone Policy (pages 14-15)
New: Dress Code/Student Uniforms/Non-uniform and Spirit Wear Days (page 21)
Appendix I: Cafeteria Meals/Outside Food Guidelines/Celebrations (page 24)
Appendix II: Uniform Violation Guidelines and Next Steps (page 25)
We believe these updates will further enhance the learning experience and help us maintain a positive and productive school community.

School Supply List

Morning Drop-off and Afternoon Pick-up
Dismissal of 6th grade, 8th grade, and carpool begins at 2:35 pm. Dismissal of 7th grade students begins at 2:45. All students will need to be picked up by 3:10 pm.
We ask that you please be patient and follow the directions of staff members and campus police to ensure car rider drop off and pick up are safe for everyone.
To assist with traffic flow, we have developed a color code system to designate car riders by grade level. Parents will be able to pick up their assigned color card at open house in the cafeteria. We ask that parents write their child's first and last name on the color card to display in your windshield during morning drop off and afternoon pick up.

POWER SCHOOL - PARENT ACCESS - REQUIRED
Every parent/guardian should monitor his/her child's grades at least once a week. Parents can have direct access to each teacher's gradebook. Grades will begin posting after the 10th day of school and will be updated at least once per week. Student report cards will be viewable only online at the end of each quarter via Power School Parent Access.
If you had access last year at any SCCPSS school, your login information and access code remain the same. If you have never had access before, please use this link for accessing the Request for a PowerSchool Parent Access account.
Students should have access so they may monitor their own grades as well.
