RESPONSIBLE USE OF CELL PHONES AND PERSONAL DEVICES

• Phones must be kept out of sight during class time (e.g., in backpacks or lockers), unless given permission by a teacher. 
• Phones may only be used during:
  • Before or after school (or during any break period w/teacher approval)
  • Emergency situations, with staff approval. 
• No photography, video, or audio recording is allowed during the school day without explicit permission from a teacher or administrator.
• Texting, calling, or using social media is not allowed during the school day. 

Smartwatches and other wearable devices are subject to the same rules as phones. Students are allowed to wear their watch but no texting, calling, or playing games is allowed during school hours.

CONSEQUENCES – Elementary

Student Safety First: Traffic Reminders

To ensure the safety of our students and keep traffic flowing smoothly, please keep these essential guidelines in mind during drop-off and pick-up:

• No Left Turns: Please do not turn left out of the parking lot unless the cones have been officially picked up by staff. This prevents gridlock and keeps our students safe.
• Cross at Crosswalks: Only cross the street at designated crosswalks. Modeling this behavior for our students is the best way to teach them road safety.
• Park Properly: Please park only in designated, marked parking spots. Avoid blocking fire lanes, driveways, or “no parking” zones.
• Be a Good Neighbor: Be courteous to our neighbors. Avoid blocking residential driveways or double-parking on side streets.
• Keep the Line Moving: In the drive-through line, please pull forward as far as possible to close gaps. This allows more parents to get off the main road and into the lot.

Pro-Tip: Having your student’s backpack and gear ready to go before you reach the front of the line helps everyone get to class on time!

Fundraising Challenge Card! The goal is to collect each dollar amount and punch out all numbers 1–15. Once your card is complete and the money is collected, return it to your teacher to claim a prize from the PTO!

You can fill out as many cards as you’d like between September 5th and March 13th. Didn’t complete a whole card? No worries, you can still turn in your collected funds by the end date to receive a prize.
