The Monitoring the Future study found that high school seniors who spend 3 or more hours a day on social media are more likely to report high levels of depressive symptoms.

La investigación Supervisión del Futuro encontró que los estudiantes en el último año del bachillerato que pasan 3 horas del día o más en las redes sociales tienen más probabilidades de presentar niveles elevados de síntomas depresivos.

This week, our school is celebrating Digital Citizenship Week! Teachers will focus on helping students use technology safely, responsibly, and effectively.

Because kids are connected both at school and at home, we know families play an important role too. Check out this website for resources related to Digital Citizenship for families.

Each Friday, our cafeteria will offer a special à la carte snack for students. To purchase, students will need money in their lunch account or cash on hand.

Friday, 9/26 – Fruit Roll-Up – $0.60

Now that school is rolling, we wanted to remind you that the tardy bell rings at 7:55 am. Thank you for helping us start the day smoothly! Here’s a quick look at our morning routine:

7:15 am – Side door opens to students only; we have limited staff, students go to the cafeteria. (If your child needs extra support, drop off at 7:30 am)
7:30 am – Main doors open; all staff on duty, students may eat breakfast or go straight to class
7:50 am – Safety Patrol reports to class; fewer helpers outside after this time
7:55 am – Tardy bell rings, instruction begins
8:00 am – Students must be escorted inside by an adult

Car Line Tips:

Have children exit on the passenger side for safety.
Students may open the door and exit once stopped—no need to wait for staff or safety patrol unless support is needed.
Always pull up to the flag pole if possible, our staff typically guides and waves our cars up to keep the line moving.

On bad weather mornings or morning events, we will work with our community on extending the time students are marked tardy. These will be on a case-by-case basis.

Parents, please sign up for the SMART tag™ Parent App to get real-time bus updates, arrival alerts, and notifications for delays or route changes. Bus Hubs will no longer be used for updates. Just download the app, register, and link your child’s student ID. Instructions are available at the link below.
