Thank you!

Students will be permitted to attend a September behavior celebration on 9/26 if they were not suspended between 9/10-9/25. We are excited to celebrate our students who are working hard and following the code of conduct. This was announced to students during lunches and advisory classes this past week.

Ms. Campbell's students completed a C.E.R (Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning) gallery walk on the Conservation of Mass.

Intersession week will be held at LBC Middle School from 8:30-3:00. Invitation letters went home last week. Please return letters and sign students up for participation in PowerSchool Parent Portal. Students who are failing a core content class (Math, ELA, Science, or Social Studies) have been invited to attend in an effort to recover their failing grade.

Many students are still being dropped off before 7:30 am which leaves them unattended. Please assist with this by not leaving your students at the school prior to 7:30. Thank you!

• The PSAT will be administered for 8th grade students on October 22nd. Parents of students who prequalified should have received an email on August 25th to sign up. Prequalified students can take the PSAT for free. If parents choose to do so, 8th grade students who did not prequalify can pay to take the PSAT for $12.50. Cash or check. Checks should be made to Leavelle McCampbell Middle School. All money is due by September 25th for 8th grade students who did not prequalify to participate.

After fall break, all students will be expected to wear their ID badges daily. In addition to safety, the school cafeteria is using the badges to scan student numbers in lieu of them typing in their numbers which save time in the food line.

Here’s what families need to know:

• ID badges must be worn daily during school hours.
• Replacement badges will cost $5 (lanyard only is $1)
• Temporary IDs will be available each day for $1.
• Parents will be notified once a student’s ID-related charges reach $10.
• Student accounts will be billed for any outstanding fines.

We appreciate your partnership in supporting this important safety measure. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our front office. Together, we can ensure Leavelle McCampbell Middle remains a safe and welcoming place for all students.

Pursuant to ACPSD Board Policy JICJ, students are prohibited from utilizing personal electronic devices or accessories during the instructional school day.

For this policy, personal electronic device means any device utilized to access the internet, wi-fi, cellular telephone signals, or to capture images or video. This includes, but is not limited to cell phones, smart watches, tablets, and gaming devices.

This also includes the use of accessories. Personal electronic device accessories include any wired or wireless accessory or wearable technology that connects to a device and any other accessory commonly used in conjunction with a personal electronic device.

Although middle and high school students may possess a personal electronic device, the device should not be activated or utilized for any function unless specifically authorized as part of an instructional directive by a teacher or other classroom supervisor. Unless school-specific exceptions apply, the above specified devices should be turned off and placed out of sight and not in use during instructional day. This rule applies during established school day hours and at off-campus activities during the school day. (Principals may further restrict use before and after school as necessary.)

For each violation the student will be informed that he or she is in violation of the Electronic Device Policy, and the student will be asked to turn the device off and put it away. A referral for Cell Phone Violation (Code 330) will be entered.

The following consequences will be followed when processing the referrals written by the teacher and are intended to replace the provisions in the 2024 – 2025 Student Code of Conduct previously published:

• 1st Offense Personal Electronic Device or Accessory Violation – up to 1 Day ISS

• Upon processing, the administrator will remind the student of the policy and future consequences such as ISS, OSS, etc.

• 2nd Offense Personal Electronic Device or Accessory Violation – 1 to 3 days ISS

• 3rd Offense Personal Electronic Device or Accessory Violation – Up to 3 Days OSS & Probation/Behavior Contract

• Subsequent Offenses will follow the consequences outlined in the probation/behavior contract and may be considered Refusal to Obey (Code 270)
