Reminder: Cell Phone Use at School
Students are reminded that cell phones must stay in backpacks all day—not in pockets.
Phones should not be taken out or used until students are outside of the school building at the end of the day.
Things went smoothly during the first month of school, but we’ve noticed that some students are starting to forget this important rule. Let’s keep things on track—thanks for your cooperation!
Important Reminder: Staying on School Property
Once students arrive at school, they must stay on school property. This includes before the bell in the morning.
For safety reasons, students are not allowed to leave campus at any time during the school day unless signed out by a parent or guardian.
Did you know that most bullying stops in 10 seconds when someone steps in? If you see someone being bullied, don’t just stand by—be an upstander! You can do this by speaking up, getting help from an adult, or supporting the person being targeted. Even a small act, like standing beside someone who’s being left out, can make a huge difference.
Let’s be a school that stands up for each other!
