A reminder of our district’s new cell phone policy (Policy JICJ: Student Use of Cellphone and Other Electronic Devices) for students:
• Grades 7–12: Phones and smart devices (smart watches) may be used before school, during lunch, and after school.
• Grades K–6: Phones and smart devices (smart watches) may be used before and after school.
• During the school day: Phones and smart devices must be put away, non -accessible (stored in backpack, locker, car, etc.) and must be turned off, silenced, or kept in a non-transmitting mode (i.e., “airplane” mode) during the school day. This includes class time, assemblies, pep rallies, and field trips.
• Phones may not be used in locker rooms, bathrooms, or other areas where they could violate someone’s privacy.
• Unauthorized use will result in the device being confiscated. A first and second offense results in the phone being returned at the end of the day; a third offense will require parent/guardian pickup. Additional consequences may apply.
We appreciate everyone’s help in keeping our classrooms focused on learning, and student success!

A few important things to know:
- Someone will be available throughout the day to help load the turf.
- The rolls are heavy, so please come prepared with an appropriate vehicle or trailer.
- You must take an entire roll. We will not allow anyone to cut off a portion and leave the rest behind.
We'd love to see the remaining turf put to good use, so stop by and pick up a roll!
