Dear Parents/Guardians of our 4th and 5th graders:

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have to move the snow tubing trip from this Thursday, 2/15, to this Friday, 2/16.  The times remain the same, the bus is leaving at 8:45.  Please make sure all students are at school on time.  If your child was scheduled to go on Thursday and cannot attend the trip on Friday due to the change of date please contact your child’s homeroom teacher.

Dear Parents/Guardians:


I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable winter break.  We have noticed that many students have received mobile phones or smartwatches over the holidays.  We understand that you prefer for your child to have these items while they are in school, but it is against our school policy that these items can be used in our building.  The expectation is that cell phones/smartwatches/recording devices are turned off and remain in their backpacks from the time they enter the school building until the time they leave the school building.  Please remind your students of this policy.  Administration will be doing the same reminders during class today. 


If a student is found using their smartwatch, cell phone, or any recording device during school hours, they will face the consequences as outlined in our code of conduct, which can be found below:



Cell Phone/Smart Watch Use (including but not limited to taking pictures/videos in school, during school hours, texting, chatting, or making phone calls)

Item confiscated


Parents contacted


Item picked up by guardian 

1 After School Detention

2 After School Detentions

1 Day OSS

*** Cell phones/recording devices/Smartwatches must be turned off and kept in student backpacks.  Any photography, filming or posting on social media during the school day or on school property (including busing to and from school) will result in disciplinary action.



Thank you for your attention to this matter.


Sincerely,

Sean Dunphy

Estimados padres/tutores:


Espero que todos hayan tenido unas vacaciones de invierno relajantes y agradables. Hemos observado que muchos estudiantes han recibido teléfonos móviles o relojes inteligentes durante las vacaciones. Entendemos que usted prefiere que su hijo tenga estos artículos mientras está en la escuela, pero va en contra de nuestra política escolar que estos artículos puedan usarse en nuestro edificio. La expectativa es que los teléfonos celulares/relojes inteligentes/dispositivos de grabación estén apagados y permanezcan en sus mochilas desde el momento en que ingresan al edificio de la escuela hasta el momento en que salen del edificio de la escuela. Por favor recuerde a sus estudiantes esta política. La administración hará los mismos recordatorios durante la clase de hoy.


Si se descubre que un estudiante usa su reloj inteligente, teléfono celular o cualquier dispositivo de grabación durante el horario escolar, enfrentará las consecuencias como se describe en nuestro código de conducta, que se puede encontrar a continuación:



Uso de teléfono celular/reloj inteligente (incluido, entre otros, tomar fotografías/videos en la escuela, durante el horario escolar, enviar mensajes de texto, chatear o hacer llamadas telefónicas)

Artículo confiscado


Padres contactados


Artículo recogido por el tutor.

1 Detención después de la escuela

Artículo recogido por el tutor.


*** Los teléfonos celulares/dispositivos de grabación/relojes inteligentes deben estar apagados y guardados en las mochilas de los estudiantes. Cualquier fotografía, filmación o publicación en las redes sociales durante el día escolar o en la propiedad escolar (incluido el transporte en autobús hacia y desde la escuela) resultará en una acción disciplinaria.



Gracias por su atención a este asunto.


Atentamente,

Sean Dunphy
