BLUEs news

Next week we will be having Sprit Week here at school. Both IE and MLA students may dress accordign to the days listed. We look forward to seeign each student participating.

Good evening families. There is a concerning number of students that are coming to school not in school uniform. This is concerning issue for us as the student handbook states all students are to be in school uniform at all times unless they have paid for the dress down on Fridays. The school unform is Navy Blue or Gray polo with a school logo, Navy Blue or Gray pants, (not sweat pants, leggings, or jeans). Students are to wear shoes not crocs or slippers or sandels. If your scholar wears a Hijab or an Abya they must also be Navy Blue or Gray.

If your scholar comes to school not in unform the follow will accour:

1st offense - The student will receive a Friday afternoon detention and you will receive a email letting you know.

2nd offense - The student will receive a day of in-school suspension and you will be notified of this.

3rd offense - The student will receive a day of out of school suspension and you will be called to come get them.

4th offense - The student will receive out of school suspension and will be taken to a disciplinary review board.

Parents, thank you for your concern on student use of cell phones. We have a policy that has been in place since March of last school year. Students at MLA are required to turn their cell phone into the front desk every morning and reterive it every day. Going forward as students enter school they will be required to show they do not have their device on them. The following consequences will happen based on the student code of conduct.

1st offense - phone will be taken and not returned untill winter break. If they get it back after winter break and they are caught with it again, it will be taken and returned at the end of the year.

It will also cost you $15 to retreive your child's phone.

It is our hope that with your support, we are able to reduce the amount of student disruptions by not having devices that distract from learning.

If your scholar has a district issued device this is a reminder that your child is to be using their clever badge to log into their device with their district approved account and not use their own personal email when they log into the device. Any student who is caught using their personal account on a district provided device will have their device confiscated and will receive a Friday afternoon detention. If a student commits a second offence, in school suspension will be assigned.

We enjoyed celebrating our scholars hard work last six weeks. Our next awards will be November 8th. Times for the grade levels celebrations are as follows:

9:00 to 10:00 Pre-K 4 through 2nd Grade

10:00 to 11:00 3rd through 6th Grade

Are next Family Fun Night will be held this Thursday November 7th from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. We hope to see you there.

This is a reminder that there is no early release to parents on Friday. We have moved the school end time to 12:30 to accomidate families with Friday prayer. With doing that we are not releasing students early.

If you plan to pick up your child please do not enter the car line until 12:15 as we are dismissing half day Prek 3 program at noon and it will interfear with that process. Again on Fridays there is no early release and please do nto enter the car line until after 12:15.

These amazing teachers were recognized by families and coworkers. Great job team.
