Reading- Henline:

Last week the scholars received their new novel, Refugee! With this story, there are three different historical characters throughout three different time periods fleeing civil unrest. This is a great novel to help show and express empathy to children that live in various circumstances. The students will also have a novel guide and quiz check every Monday and Wednesday for their homework reading, too, like for The Maze Runner. Please review and sign the expectations for their homework, along with their weekly trackers. We also started poetry- learning a lot of information about figurative language and sound devices.

To reiterate, there are eight Quill assignments (grammar practice) due each week- all students have plenty of time in class to complete and at lunch if they need extra time. Students are more than welcome to finish these at home if they have access to a device to use. These will be graded every Friday. Also, please do not forget to check the trackers within your student’s folders every Friday and returned signed on Mondays. Please reach out with any questions or concerns- have a wonderful weekend! 😊

Dear Middle and High School families,

In an effort to maintain an optimal learning environment for all scholars, as well as ensure safety and limit distractions, we request your support in enacting our Electronics Policy for the new school year.

All cell phones, smart watches, and/or electronic devices must be turned off and stored in backpacks during the school day. Scholars may access their electronic devices before the beginning of the school day, 8:00am, and after the school day at 3:45pm. This means scholars will not have access to their electronics between 8:00-3:45pm. Should you need to contact your scholar between these times, please reach out to the front office and we will see that your scholar receives the message. We strongly encourage families to make plans with their scholar prior to the beginning of the school day for after-school plans.

If a scholar is caught using a cell phone or electronic device during class, in the halls, restroom, etc. the following consequences will apply:

● First Infraction – Confiscation of cell phone/electronic by teacher or school personnel. Device will be sent to the front office. Front office staff will review this contract with scholar and cell phone will be returned to the student at end of school day.

● Second Infraction – Confiscation of cell phone/electronic by teacher or school personnel. Device will be sent to the front office. Parents will be notified by school personnel. Office staff will return the device to a parent/guardian at end of school day and review this contract.

● Third Infraction – Confiscation of cell phone/electronic by teacher or school personnel. Device will be sent to the front office. Parents/guardians will be notified by the school personnel. Parent/guardian will have to be present with scholar to retrieve device and a $5 to retrieval fee will be paid by scholar.

Certain infractions will result in students immediately losing the privilege to carry a cell phone/electronic on campus. This penalty will be decided by school administrators and includes, but is not limited to, infractions such as:

● Posting harmful material against students and/or any members of the school community

● Refusing to give the device to a school official who requests it

● Making threats against the school community

Thank you in advance for your partnership with our school and your continued support to provide a safe and productive learning environment that limits distractions for all scholars.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Odom, Principal

Joanna Aguirre, Assistant Principal

Savanah Silva, Assistant Principal

Estimadas familias de la escuela secundaria,

En un esfuerzo por mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje óptimo para todos los estudiantes, así como garantizar la seguridad y limitar las distracciones, solicitamos su apoyo para promulgar nuestra Política de Electrónica para el nuevo año escolar.

Todos los teléfonos celulares, relojes inteligentes y/o dispositivos electrónicos deben estar apagados y guardados en mochilas durante el día escolar. Los estudiantes pueden acceder a sus dispositivos electrónicos antes del comienzo de la jornada escolar, a las 8:00 a. m., y después de la jornada escolar a las 3:45 p. m. Esto significa que los estudiantes no tendrán acceso a sus dispositivos electrónicos entre las 8:00 p. m. y las 3:45 p. m. Si necesita comunicarse con su estudiante entre estos horarios, comuníquese con la oficina principal y nos aseguraremos de que su estudiante reciba el mensaje. Recomendamos encarecidamente a las familias que hagan planes con su estudiante antes del comienzo del día escolar para los planes después de la escuela.

Si un estudiante es sorprendido usando un teléfono celular o dispositivo electrónico durante la clase, en los pasillos, baños, etc., se aplicarán las siguientes consecuencias:

● Primera Infracción – Confiscación de teléfono celular/electrónico por parte del maestro o personal de la escuela. El dispositivo será enviado a la oficina principal. El personal de la recepción revisará este contrato con el estudiante y el teléfono celular se le devolverá al estudiante al final del día escolar.

● Segunda Infracción – Confiscación de teléfono celular/electrónico por parte del maestro o personal de la escuela. El dispositivo será enviado a la oficina principal. Los padres serán notificados por el personal de la escuela. El personal de la oficina devolverá el dispositivo a un padre/tutor al final del día escolar y revisará este contrato.

● Tercera Infracción – Confiscación de teléfono celular/electrónico por parte del maestro o personal de la escuela. El dispositivo será enviado a la oficina principal. Los padres/tutores serán notificados por el personal de la escuela. El padre/tutor deberá estar presente con el estudiante para recuperar el dispositivo y el estudiante pagará una tarifa de recuperación de $5.

Ciertas infracciones darán como resultado que los estudiantes pierdan inmediatamente el privilegio de llevar un teléfono celular/electrónico en el campus. Esta sanción será decidida por los administradores de la escuela e incluye, pero no se limita a, infracciones tales como:

● Publicar material dañino contra los estudiantes y/o cualquier miembro de la comunidad escolar.

● Negarse a entregar el dispositivo a un funcionario escolar que lo solicite.

● Hacer amenazas contra la comunidad escolar

Gracias de antemano por su asociación con nuestra escuela y su continuo apoyo para brindar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y productivo que limite las distracciones para todos los estudiantes.
