We have noticed an increasing number of students exiting or entering vehicles from the center lane. Students should only exit or enter vehicles from the curbside of the vehicle after pulling fully up to the curb. We appreciate everyone doing their part to help keep our students safe.

Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, students will no longer be permitted to use personal devices, such as student-owned laptops and ipads, on campus. All students will continue to have access to district-issued chromebooks and classroom-based devices to support learning both at school and at home. This update is intended to create a more safeguarded and consistent learning environment for all students.

Moving away from student "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) for school instruction will help us:

• Improve online safety and strengthen cybersecurity protections for student accounts and data.
• Provide a more consistent classroom experience and reduce time spent troubleshooting different personal devices.
• Support classroom focus by reducing distractions from personal apps, games, and notifications.
• Improve network reliability and performance across school campuses.
• Allow teachers and schools to better support students using district-managed tools and systems.
  

We appreciate your partnership and support as we implement this transition. Additional details and guidance will be shared before the start of the school year.
