Now that we have been back from Winter Break for a couple of weeks, we know that many students may have received new electronic devices or cell phones over the holidays — how exciting! 🎁
We would like to take a moment to remind everyone that our school policy remains the same:
Cell phones should be kept in lockers during the school day and should not be carried or used in classrooms or hallways.
We ask families to please continue having conversations with your child about this expectation so we can work together to keep students focused, engaged, and ready to learn throughout the day. When devices stay put away, students are better able to concentrate, participate, and make the most of their time at school.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our Eagles make great choices and maintain a positive learning environment! 🦅💪
