Students may keep extra packets of paper or pencils at school labeled with the student’s name, in case he/she runs out. Purchase extra supplies during sale times in the summer, since students WILL run out mid-year.

PHONE POLICY

All cell phones will be turned off, collected by teachers & locked up during the school day, and returned to students at dismissal time. Parents, please contact your child through the office for any emergency at 365-8129. Students will be allowed to use the office phone only with teacher permission.

Since 6th graders do not have lockers, we ask that no pricey toys or games come to school with children. Locking up cell phones is one way of deterring unwanted attention to electronics, and it also serves to reduce the distractions phones can create during class times.

We appreciate your understanding of this policy.
