Greetings!
Just a few reminders as we enter the second half of the school year. I've received several questions regarding finger nail polish and I want to address cell phones at school.
Per our Parent/Student handbook, nail polish of any kind is not allowed. In addition, i
f a student needs a cell phone after school for safety, he/she MUST bring the cell phone to the office upon arrival in the morning and park the cell phone in the off position for the day. The cell phone may be picked up by the student after dismissal. At no time during the day should a cell phone be in a student’s backpack, desk, or in his/her possession, or in the possession of another student. CELL PHONES WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM STUDENTS WHO VIOLATE THIS POLICY.
Consequences:
➢ 1st Offense: Phone will be returned to the student at the end of the day
➢ 2nd Offense: Phone will only be returned to the parent/guardian
➢ 3rd Offense: Phone will only be returned to the parent/guardian and cannot be brought to school for the rest of the year.
Smart watches/Apple watches are NOT TO BE WORN to school as these
are communication devices as well.
Beginning Monday, January 7th through January 25th, students in grades 3 through 7 will begin their second round of "Measure of Academic Progress" (MAP) Growth tests from the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). We will be measuring our students' academic growth in Reading and Math since the beginning of the school year. Reports outlining students' academic growth will be sent home following this round of testing.
