We want to express our deepest gratitude to all the parents and guardians who generously donated food, snacks, and drinks for our staff during conferences this week. Your kindness and support truly touched us, and we felt so appreciated by our Middle School families. Thank you for making us feel valued —it means more than we can say!

We recently sent a reminder about our cell phone policy. Please review it with your student.

Per Policy 5136, phones must stay in lockers during the school day. If students feel unwell, they should use the office phone to call home.

Please be aware of the following regarding violations of the policy:

• First offense: A warning is given.

• Additional offenses: A parent must pick up the device, and detention may follow.

• 
  

Thank you for your support! Please refer to the Middle School Handbook or contact us with any questions.
