📱 School Phone Policy Update for Next School Year!

Great minds think alike! You may have heard that our school district just passed a new district-wide phone policy. Because we’ve already seen the positive impact of limiting distractions in our classrooms, our school will be maintaining our current phone policy for the upcoming school year with some updates.

We are proud to be ahead of the curve in keeping our focus exactly where it belongs: on student learning, engagement, and building a strong community!

Parents and students, please take a moment to review the district's newly released policy here to see how it aligns with our campus expectations: Link Below
