This year, we've made some adjustments to our Student Cell Phone Policy in the Jr/Sr High handbook. Why the Change? We believe that the new policy will: Decrease Distraction, Improve Academic Success, Build Community Within the School, Improve Mental Health, and Decrease Bullying and Mean Moments. Handbook Verbiage: Board Policy allows students to have cell phones at school. The phone should be turned off or on silent and in student lockers during the school day. This is in all school spaces, except the ones explained next. High school students ONLY may access and use their devices during their lunch/recess time. If a student needs to make contact with a parent during the school day , with staff permission, the student may ONLY come to the office to use the office phone or his/her cell phone (obtained from the locker with staff permission). Parents may contact the office to leave messages for their child. In the event a phone is used without permission in the school, the phone will be confiscated. Having the device taken away the first time, will result in the student giving the device to the staff member and it can be given back to the student at the end of the hour. The second time, the student may pick the device up at the office at the end of the school day. A third time results in a contact to the parent/guardian who will then need to come to the school office to retrieve the device for the child. Any additional times may result in arrangements between the parent & Administration pertaining to no longer having the device in school. If the phone is used in any illegal manner (including threats and bullying, improper video, sexting), there will be disciplinary actions and the parent(s) and possibly the police will be notified. Students with medical conditions requiring regular access to a cell phone may have their phone as long as there is documentation from a medical provider on file in the office.

¡Feliz verano! Miss J has been busy traveling this summer. She's spent the past few weeks exploring Cusco, Peru and the surrounding area! She has been doing things like taking classes, practicing her Spanish, learning more about culture, and exploring many ancient Incan archaeological sites. Here she is sporting her Comet gear at Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World! She's so excited to bring what she's learning back to her students in the fall. Miss J says "¡Espero que tengan un gran resto de su verano! Tupananchiskama 👋
