Smart Tag for the Bus
This school year, the SMART Tag web-based Parent Portal will be replaced by the Smart Tag app.
The SMART Tag app notifies parents when their child’s bus is on its way to pick up, or drop off, at the student’s designated stop. It also provides instant updates about delays, route alterations, or emergencies. App can be downloaded on both Android and Apple devices. https://tinyurl.com/4memyrye
Communication Devices Rules
All personal communication devices must remain turned off and out of sight from the first bell to dismissal.
While students may still bring personal communication devices to campus, use during the instructional day is strictly prohibited. Any device that is visible or in use during instructional hours will be considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and may result in disciplinary action.
