Communication

ParentPortal (PowerSchool)

ParentPortal is our primary form of communication regarding grades and missing work for your student. If you do not already have access to ParentPortal, you need to visit the front office and they can help you set it up. Your child also has access to PowerSchool via ClassLink on their Chromebook. We strive to update grades on a weekly basis.

Communication with Parents/Guardians

Parents/Guardians will receive a weekly newsletter on Fridays for the following week of school. This newsletter will give any important dates for upcoming texts, quizzes, and projects, as well as any school events happening. All assessments are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. The newsletter will not update once it has been sent. Please take the time to check your student’s agenda daily for any changes.

When needing to communicate with your child’s teachers, please use the following email addresses. When sending an email, please use your student’s first and last name as the subject of the message.

Dress Code

The following is the school wide dress code. Students will be checked each morning when they come into school. Dress code includes having your school issued ID around your neck and visible. If your student is out of dress code, they will be sent to the office to call home or to speak with administration.

Student IDs

Students will be required to wear their ID on a lanyard around their neck. Students who do not have their ID can get their temporary in Homeroom. Students should not have extra items hanging off their IDs.

Cell Phones and Watches

Cell phones and smart watches are prohibited by District and State regulations. Students cannot have their phone or smartwatch accessible during the school day. Students who are caught with their phone/smartwatch accessible to them (in pockets, on their wrist, or if the sound goes off) will immediately be written up via an office referral. The following is the policy that will follow.

1st Offense: One day In-School Suspension

2nd Offense: Two days In-School Suspension

3rd Offense: One day Out-of-School Suspension

4th Offense: Three days Out-of-School Suspension

5th Offense: Five days Out-of-School Suspension and placed on Discipline Contract

6th Offense: Five days Out-of-School Suspension and student and parents must meet with the Office of Student Services before returning to school.

Absences and Make Up Work

If your student is out, please try to email his/her teachers to let us know! We understand if you forget, but it does generally help us to know when students are out and that they are okay (especially if they are out for multiple days). When your student is out, it is their responsibility to check Google Classroom and PowerSchool for make up work. This work should be completed as soon as possible. The student should make arrangements with his or her teacher.

Any graded missing work that has to be completed at school will be completed during homeroom and/or lunch on specific days.

Monday - Science

Tuesday - ELA

Wednesday - No Makeup Work

Thursday - Math

Friday - Social Studies
