Electronic Devices in School

Phones/Smart Watches
Students are extended the privilege of possessing phones/smartwatches on school grounds; however, their use is limited to after-school dismissal and non-school days. These devices must be in the off position, or not used once the student arrives on campus until the end of the school day

All students who are returning to a D303 school will be keeping their devices for the summer.

Only return devices for students who are moving out of the district

Parents are welcome to join us, on 5/30, as we celebrate our outgoing 5th graders with our traditional BG Clap Out! Please refer to the map on the right. (click on it to enlarge)

The 5th graders will parade inside the building at 2:45pm, then they will make their way out to all of you by 2:50pm. After the students have paraded by you, they will come back into the school to gather their belongings and to wait for the final dismissal bell at 2:58pm.

Back Up Rain Plan
In the event that it rains, parents will enter at the main entrance and go to the Cafe for the clap out.

Any student not returning to D303 next year will have to return their chromebook and charger by 5/30/24.

Thank you to those who agreed to volunteer for AMPE day. We do not need any additional volunteers.
