In order to remove as many distractions as possible from our classrooms, we will be reminding students of our electronic device policy during the following week. As our handbook states, "...electronic devices of any kind are not permitted to be used, except as allowed by a teacher. The school is in no way responsible for any theft. Such devices must be turned off and secured out of sight during school hours, except at the discretion of a staff member. Messages/calls received by students from guardians subject students to consequences. Guardians requiring contact with their students are encouraged to contact the office so that important messages can be delivered without disrupting the educational environment." Smartwatches may be worn and visible but may not be used during the day.

Moving forward, we will have signs in our classrooms and other locations throughout the school to remind students that personal devices should be kept away. When cell phones are seen, teachers and staff will remind students of the rule. For a second infraction, the staff member will communicate with the student and parent/guardian and assign an appropriate consequence (loss of privilege during the day). All future infractions will be referred to the principal. After repeated offenses, the principal may choose to store the student's cell phone for the day.

Red Ribbon Week is celebrated each year and provides opportunities to discuss making healthy choices and staying drug free! One way that we will celebrate is by participating in themed dress weeks. Please join us in participating in the themes above, as well as discussing a healthy choice that matches the theme each day!

• 10/28-11/1 - Red Ribbon Dress Days
• 10/30 - End of First Marking Period
• 11/12 - STEM in the Community Event
• 11/25-12/2 - No School for Students
• 11/25-11/26 - Parent-Teacher Conferences
• 12/23-1/3 - Winter Break - No School

Don't forget to check out the Community Bulletin Page on the District Website for the many events happening in our A-C Community linked here!

We kicked off Red Ribbon Week on 10/25! It was great to see so many students and staff wearing red to promote making healthy choices!

Mrs. Wilson's Fourth Grade Class had their first publishing party for the year. Students shared their writing, enjoyed snacks, and cheered each other on during the process!

Students in Ms. Brown's class strengthened their language and fine motor skills by working together to build a pumpkin craft!

Fourth-grade student Charley Bullock was a Champion in our community! She led her team in raising $5000 to help with Type 1 Diabetes research, which will hopefully lead to finding a cure! She was cheered on by classmate Melanie Zimmerman and high school seniors Ava Hoover and Kendall Cooper.
