PHONE USE DURING SCHOOL
Under no circumstances are you allowed to text your parents or anyone else during the school day. If you are feeling ill, come down to the health room. If you forgot something or need something, you come to the main office and call home. After this week, if a student is found to be texting for these reasons, you will receive the 2 penalty halls for cell phone violations.

CHROMEBOOK REMINDER

Carrying several books increases the chance for your chromebook to slip and break. Broken chromebooks will have to pay a $25 deductible to get it fixed.

Students should always carry chromebook cases by the handle.
