A Note from Mrs. Solomon

Wild Rose Families,

I would like to begin by thanking all of our community for their donations for DANCEFIT!! The students had a blast! Fun was had by all and the students will be sure to see all of their hard work pay off! We are walking through the necessary steps to have a rock wall installed in the gym! Our hope is to have it installed prior to the end of the year for all of our current students and beyond to experience! Huge thank you to our PTO for working through this fundraiser and working to raise funds not only for the rock wall, but for many other PTO events for our families to enjoy and staff benefits.

We wish everyone a restful week of family, rejuvenation and giving thanks! We are a third of the way through the school year. Report cards will be posted on HOME ACCESS CENTER on Tuesday for all to see their child's progress so far this year! We have 2/3 of the year to go and a lot to be thankful for! Enjoy the time off!

Electronics at School: Phones and SMART Watches

Families please help your child or children stay focused at school when at school. Please read our electronics policy:

Should we continue to have challenges with Smartwatches we will also ask students to keep them in their backpacks during the school day.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN SCHOOL

Please refer to policy 5:125 Personal Technology and Social Media; Usage and Conduct

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 on school grounds, including bus transportation.

As adults you know that you can contact the office in case of an emergency or change in schedule for your child. Please refrain from texting and calling your child during the day. Children also text one another from there watches, making their focus drift from instruction.

Please help us keep kids focused on their job of learning.

POLICY FOR ADMINISTERING MEDICINE TO STUDENTS
