Back-to-School Newsletter 2026-2027
Sheldon High School
Students may carry their school books and other personal belongings such as notebooks, folders,
pencils or pens into school using a backpack or bookbag.
- Once inside the school, the backpack or bookbag must be kept in the student’s locker
- The student is not allowed to carry the backpack or bookbag from class to class
- A student may carry a small bag to and from Physical Education (PE)
This matches the policy in place at East Elementary and Sheldon Middle School, and allows us to
maintain a safe, clean and accessible learning environment throughout the school day. If there
are concerns regarding your student’s medical or safety needs, please feel free to contact the
High School Office at (712)324-2501.
Before and throughout the school day, the North Main High School doors will be the only entrance/exit available for students to utilize.
Starting at dismissal, the East Activities/District Office doors will be available as an additional exit. These doors will remain unlocked after dismissal for students to enter/exit for activities.
Every student will be assigned a personal Yondr Pouch. While the Yondr Pouch is considered school property, it is each student’s responsibility to bring their Pouch with them to school every day and keep it in good working condition.
DAILY PROCESS
As students arrive at school, they will:
Turn their phone off or on airplane mode.
Place their phone inside their pouch and secure it in the presence of school staff.
Store their pouch in their backpack for the day.
At the end of the day, students will unlock their pouch, remove their phone and put their pouch in their backpack. Students must bring their pouch to school with them each day.
***Students arriving late or leaving early will pouch/unpouch their phones in the Main Office.
Pouch Damage / Lost Pouch / Using Phone During School
If a student damages their pouch or is caught using their phone, Administration will collect the student’s pouch/phone and call home.
Lost or damaged pouch - $30 fee for a replacement pouch
Forgotten Pouches
If a student forgets their pouch, they will turn their phone into the office for the school day, to be collected at dismissal. Any phone entering the school building will be required to be in a Yondr pouch.
If a student consistently forgets their pouch, it is considered lost. Refer to the Lost Pouch policy above.
For students not following this policy, consequences are as follows:
1st offense: Parent/guardian pick-up of phone/device
2nd offense: Parent/guardian pick-up of phone/device, turn phone into office for 3 consecutive school days
3rd offense: Parent/guardian pick-up of phone/device, turn phone into office for 5 consecutive school days
4th offense: Parent/guardian pick-up of phone/device, turn phone into office for 5 consecutive school days, additional consequences possible, up to and including suspension
Sheldon CSD is proud to offer quality breakfast and lunch options for our students. Breakfast is served from 7:45-8:20am daily. Breakfast is $1.75 and lunch is $2.75.
Contact will be made with the parent/guardian when a $6.00 balance and below is reached and will continue until the balance is above $6.00.
