Cell Phone Policy

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We would like to remind families that our cell phone policy requires students to keep their cell phones put away in their locker and not use them at any time from the moment they enter the school building until after the final bell of the day.

We understand that there may be times when you need to get an important message to your student during the school day. The Main Office is happy to deliver messages to students on your behalf. If your student needs to contact you during the school day, the Main Office can also assist by looking up the phone number they need.

Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a focused learning environment and for partnering with us in following our school’s cell phone policy.

 See the full cell phone policy HERE.

THE ROCK AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

The ROCK is a productive after-school program that instills confidence and a sense of belonging. They also provide mentorship, tutors, games, activities, food, and a safe place for teens. This is a drop-in program that runs from 2:50-6:00 PM; meaning your student can leave when it makes sense for your family. All participants must be pre-registered.  

Snow Days:  The ROCK will NOT be open.

OFFICE DROP OFFS

As always, please encourage your students to have everything they need before leaving for school each day. If they do forget something feel free to drop it off in the office. If your student contacts you and asks you to bring an item, please let them know you will bring it and that they should check the office between classes or before lunch.  

SECURLY

Securly is used for content filtering, classroom management and student wellness monitoring. Parents will be notified of all Securly alerts outside of school hours. This will alert parents of any concerning technology behavior for their student. Information will be shared with parents once Securly Home is ready and available for use.

The new secure storage law requires firearm owners to securely store firearms wherever minors are present or likely to be present.

Student Drop off and Pickup

The front parking lot along Sugnet is reserved for school buses only between 7:30-8:00am and 2:40-3:10pm. Please do not use this lot or drop off or pickup during these times.

The best places to drop your student off during these times are either in the back of the building or in the parking lot between NMS and Plymouth.

Rules for dropping off in the back are:

  • The left lane is a moving lane. Do not stop or drop-off your student while in the left lane.
  • The right lane is the drop-off lane. Pull over and stop and let your student out. Please DO NOT park and exit your vehicle in this lane.

 

All students must be picked up or signed into the Rock by 3:05PM (at the latest).

  • Students must wait outside for their ride (students are only allowed to wait between the front doors when the weather is too cold/rainy - this space is not to be used as a long-term waiting area.)
  • If students won't be picked up by 3:05 then they need to be signed up for the Rock after school program OR a ride needs to be pre-arranged for them to be picked up by 3:05PM.  If you sign them up for the Rock then they need to sign in immediately after school in the cafeteria and be picked up out back by 6:00PM. They will stay in the cafeteria, and won't be allowed to go out into the school.
