Just a reminder from our Student Handbook:
"CELL PHONES & SMART WATCHES
Cell phones are permitted at school, but must remain off and in the student’s book bags throughout the school day. Smart watches are also permitted, but should only be used as a clock while at school. Students are not permitted to send or receive text messages or phone calls on cell phones or smart watches during the day. Additionally, photos may not be taken with cell phones or smart watches at school. On state testing days, smart watches are not permitted to be worn. If a parent/guardian needs to reach their student during the school day, they should call the school office at 614-478-5555. The school is not responsible for cell phones or smart watches that are lost, stolen, or damaged."
Thank you for your help and understanding.
We would love to have volunteers in the building! Please look through this spreadsheet and see if you are interested in helping in anyway. Please sign up on the spreadsheet here
