IPAD Reminders
This school year, we have experienced a significant number of iPad devices being damaged. While some of these damages are accidental, a substantial portion can be attributed to student neglect.
It is imperative that students are reminded to exercise utmost care and responsibility when handling their iPad devices. These devices are essential for daily use in most of our classes and serve as a crucial tool for our students’ academic pursuits.
Furthermore, students should be aware that neglectful handling of their iPad devices may result in disciplinary action, up to and including consequences.
Traffic Reminders
We have observed several middle school students being picked up after school in the tennis court parking lots. This poses a significant safety concern. We reiterate our request to all parents to utilize the McCoy Loop for all after-school pickups. Also, note when dropping off or picking up in the McCoy loop please remain in the outer loop. Student drop-offs are not allowed inside the parking lot area. Please refer to the drop off maps below. Click here for more information regarding parent drop off and pick up locations.
