Monday Memo

Nearly Full Staff

This week we will be getting several more staff members back in the building.  I am hoping we are on the backside of this variant peak!  Please continue to monitor your health and help us keep our school safe and open.   

Middle School Basketball

Our MS boys basketball team is back at it. Their gameplay is limited, but I know they will make the best of it! Thank you, Coach Smith, for all your hard work.

4-Day School Week 

Our district community is meeting for a third time today for our planning meeting.  This week we will be seeking community input through a survey and community forum.  Please join the discussion today after school to learn more.

Updated Cell Phone Use in K-8 Building

Please share this updated cell phone rule with your students (primarily 3-8).  I have created a tracking form and shared it with teachers and office staff.   

 

We understand that many students have phones for family contact and emergency use; however, due to digital content issues, harassment, and inappropriate use, the following updates have been made to our cell phone use rule.

 

Cell phones may be brought to the K8 school if they are kept off and out of sight during the school day. Students may use their cell phones before (8:10 AM) and after school (3:15 PM).

 

The K8 office phone is available for use by students for emergencies. Additionally, parents may call the K8 office at 258.7357 to leave a message for their child.

 

Violation of cell phone use in school will result in:

 

1st offense – Cell phone is taken to the front office until the end of the day.

2nd offense – Cell phone taken to the front office and parent must pick it up. Students will serve lunch detention.

3rd offense – Cell phone is taken to the front office, parent picks up, and cell not allowed at school for the remainder of the school year. The student will serve lunch detention.

Character Strong / Purposeful People 

Please take a look at the resource and activities with the character-strong website.  This week, the challenge for Principals is to share positiveness!
