Timberwolf Families,


The students present in Advisory (FLEX 6th block) today received their Chromebook Care Training. We will begin handing out Chromebooks on Wednesday and Thursday this week during PE classes. If they have received training and you have signed the form on ParentVue, they will be able to get their Chromebook. Ms. Sindle is pulling students absent today for their training tomorrow.


As of 6:00 pm today, we have 700 of our families complete and 251 families that need to complete the online forms.


Sincerely,

SHMS Admin Team

Personal Device Rules Personal Device Rules

Off and Away from Bell to Bus

Stafford Schools' "Off and Away" personal device policy (which applies to items such as cell phones, iPads, ear pods, and smart watches) aims to minimize distractions and enhance the educational environment for students in all grade levels. Understanding and cooperation from both students and parents are crucial for successful implementation. While there are specific, limited exceptions to the policy, consequences for non-compliance will be enforced. Silencing and stowing cell phones has been a practice in middle and elementary schools, and the updated policy now applies this practice to students in all grade levels. We appreciate your support in creating a focused and productive learning atmosphere for our students. Frequently asked questions and a video on the updated Personal Device Policy are available on the division website.
