Campus policy: We have seen a recent increase in students attempting to “sell” snacks to peers during the school day. Unless participating in a school-approved activity, students are not permitted to bring items for sale on campus. If found, items will be taken from students and parents will be notified by the Wellness Team. Thank you for your support with this!
Uniform guidelines: As a reminder, middle school students are expected to be in uniform each day (with the exception of Spirit Weeks and special events!). Please check in with your student in the morning to make sure that they have a collared shirt and school-appropriate bottoms (black, blue, khaki, or gray).
Personal Technology Use: Since the return from break, we have seen an increase in student cell phone use at school. Please remind your student that our policy is that all devices are off and away throughout the day; this includes lunch and Flex. Headphones and airpods can be used with student Chromebooks when permitted by the teacher.
