Two policy changes were approved at this Monday's board meeting. Please see the amended cell phone/electronic policy, as well as the changes to our COVID plan. Major changes are:
1. Phones, smartwatches, etc. must be turned off and in student lockers until lunchtime. Previously students were allowed to wear a watch or keep their phone off and in their pocket/bag. This is intended to minimize screen time and distraction. MS/HS parents should have received an email with more information.
2. COVID- In the old policy, students and staff would have to stay out of school 5 days after a positive test result. Per new CDC recommendations, students and staff may return after symptoms have improved for 24 hours and they are fever free for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication.
Call the office with any questions, thank you!
