Spring Break is April 7th-11th! Please do everything possible to have your student attend school every day this week, finishing the quarter strong!

The Character Trait of the Month is Patience. During the month we are sharing examples of how you can increase your patience. We are also encouraging students to submit examples of what patience means to them and how practicing patience helps you be more successful. Submissions are entered into a chance to win a prize. We also have a Patience Turtle Hunt with teeny, tiny, turtles hidden around the school for students to find and bring to the office for a small treat.

Telephone and Message Procedure (Office)

A phone for student use is available at the main office. Phone use is limited to no more than one minute and only for school related issues. The phone can be used before/after school and at lunch. The main office phone will not be used during class time. A telephone call for a student that will pull them out of class will only be taken if it is from a PARENT or GUARDIAN and is an emergency. Messages from friends will not be taken. Students receiving messages will be paged between classes and at the end of the day to retrieve their message. Students will NOT be pulled out of class to take phone calls or be given messages. Messages will be delivered to students outside of instructional class time.

Cell Phone and Electronic Use Policy

Students are allowed to bring personal cell phones and other electronic devices to school but they may only be used before and after school (not during lunch, in the halls during passing period, or in the bathrooms). This plan puts safety and learning as priorities. All devices should be Off & Away (not vibrate or silent) and away (in backpack) during school and passing times. If a student has an emergency or needs to communicate with home/family, please contact the front office. SMS is not responsible for lost, stolen, or missing electronic items.
