Cell Phone/ Smart Watch Policy Reminder – PLEASE READ!!

Since the return from Winter Break, we have seen an increase in the number of students who are wearing internet connected smart watches.  As a reminder, our “Away for the Day” policy regarding cell phones, also includes smart watches.  During school hours, it is important that watches are in school mode, meaning that the internet capabilities are disabled. 

• We have reminded students of this distraction multiple times during our first week back.  We are happy that students are excited about their new technology, however interruptions from texts and other data related features have an impact on learning.  Students will be given a reminder of the policy.  If disruptions persist, students will be asked to put their watches in their backpacks or to leave them at home.
• Parents who would like to review this policy with your children can find the information on our website at Student Personal Mobile Devices

More specific information about the guidelines are found in Away for the Day Guideline.

Thank you for your help in adhering to this policy.

From the Office

Wet & Muddy Clothing

With the warmer weather and growing puddles, we are needing to find dry clothing for students more often.  As a result, we are asking that ALL students, regardless of grade, have a change of pants including underwear and socks for this reason. Please keep them in a bag within their backpacks so they can change and be comfortable should they get wet or muddy.

Additionally, if your child has worn clothing home from the school, could you please launder and return this clothing.  Our reserves are very low and we do not have much to be able to support a change if needed.  We are only requesting the pants or tops back.  Please do not return undergarments.  These were new when given to your child and we do not reuse them.

From School Council

Our next meeting will be February 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM – Grade 3 is presenting. 

Fun Lunch is on February 19.  It is Subway.

Our next Spirit Day will be on Thursday February 19.  We will have Cozy Day on this day! Students and staff are encouraged to dress in their comfiest and coziest clothing. They may bring a blanket or a stuffed animal.  Think about how you like to be when you are curling up on the couch … that can be a guide for how you may choose to come to school this day.
