In June, we shared with you the updates to our Student Handbook. If you need to access that information for review it is linked below this post. Just a couple of reminders in case you missed it:

1. Backpacks may be worn entering and exiting the school. Students are not allowed to carry their backpacks between classes or into classrooms, they will need to use their lockers to store their materials.

2. Cell phones expectations will be clearly posted in each classroom. Each classroom will set the limits of cell phone use in an attempt to help students to understand how cell phone use changes based on the environment. If a student is misusing their cell phone, the teacher will provide one reminder, if the misuse continues then the student and their cell phone will be sent to the office to meet with Mrs. Conley.

3. Our dress code was updated to reflect a few small changes, but the most significant change was the fingertip rule. All shorts, skirts and holes in clothing must be at or below the fingertip line.

Additional information and updates are available on the links below.

We love to hear from you, if you have questions, compliments, or concerns please feel free to contact us!
