Beginning Thursday, May 1st through Wednesday, May 14th, students may bring in multi-packs of 16 oz sodas or 20 oz individual bottles and/or boxes of snack cakes or fruit snacks. If you prefer to donate cash or make a check donation (made out to Bel Air PTA), you may put donations in an envelope with your child’s teacher’s name written on the outside and the PTA will use the funds to purchase additional items.
Each 6 pack of soda, box of snack cakes or box of fruit snacks collected will give the class 5 points. Each individual 20 ounce bottle of soda donated will count as 1 point. If you donate with cash or a check, you will receive 2 points for each $1 donated.

This month's Student Support blog will give you some insight on how to get connected and stay connected during Mental Health Awareness Month. Together we can reduce the stigma around mental health and substance use disorders.
During the last legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature directed all school districts to adopt a cell phone policy by March 15, 2025. In response, the School Board asked the
community to provide feedback regarding student use of cell phones in schools. About 3,000 respondents completed a survey, and two community conversations attracted about
200 attendees.
This feedback was shared with a cell phone advisory committee made up of parents, students and staff. The group met three times last fall, and identified themes found in the responses and provided recommendations to the School Board at its December meeting.
At its meeting on March 6, the Board approved a policy effective March 15 that reflects the group’s recommendations:
Elementary schools
• Students should not access or use cell phones during school hours.
Secondary (middle and high schools)
• Students should not access or use cell phones during scheduled academic class time or during activities/assemblies when instruction or information is being delivered.
• Secondary students may access and use cell phones during non-academic or unscheduled time during school hours.
Watch a brief video about the cell phone policy engagement process.

Cell Phones/Smart Watches/Cellular Devices Reminder
It is the school’s expectation that cell phones remain in the student’s backpack throughout the day, including while on the bus. If a student brings a device and it becomes a distraction to their learning or the learning of others, or if it impacts the security or privacy of students, the following will occur:
A parent/guardian will be notified.
The device may be held in the main office until the end of the day.
Devices should not be used as a method of communication during the school day. Necessary communication between home and school, and a student and family, should be directed to the front office or the classroom teacher. As with anything of value, the school is not liable for theft or damage.
The Summer EBT program has a new name: SUN Bucks. If your student receives Educational Benefits, you qualify for SUN Bucks! Qualifying families get a grocery benefit for each student this summer. Learn more about the SUN Bucks program here.
Show your school spirit! Starting this month, our apparel stores will be open year-round. Orders will be processed on the 10th of every month, with delivery approximately 3 weeks from that date. Find your school store and place an order at mvpschools.org/spiritwear.
Non-Academic Personal Property:
Students should not bring personal items such as toys, card collections, or any similar items to school. These items may be misplaced or stolen and can be a disruption to learning. If a teacher wishes to have students bring such items to school for a special event, parents will be notified. We appreciate your support.
Did you reply ‘STOP’ to a text message?
Did we send you one-too-many text messages that caused you to reply ‘STOP,’ in frustration? If so, please know that replying ‘STOP’ to a single text message automatically unsubscribes you from receiving all future text messages from any school or District office. Please consider resubscribing so you can receive future emergency notifications, and we’ll do our best to limit our text messages to critically urgent information that is as targeted as possible. To resubscribe, simply call or email any school main office and ask to be resubscribed to all text messages.

Parents, you can now add your child's cell phone number to ParentVUE so they can receive text messages and robo-calls about school closings, significantly delayed school buses, emergencies and other alerts.
