Here is the link for the student cell phone sign-up: Student Cell Phone Form 

We are pleased to announce a new update to our PowerSchool database. Beginning this week, we have added a field for student cell phone numbers.

*The form is available for student gmail accounts only

This optional feature is designed to foster student independence and ensure we can communicate time-sensitive information directly to students in a more expedient fashion. 

By having direct contact, we can provide rapid updates regarding:

• Athletics and Activities: Real-time updates on practice changes or game delays.

• School Events: Reminders for club meetings or student activities.

• Safety: Efficient communication during potential emergency situations.

Privacy and Security

We understand the importance of digital privacy. All phone numbers will be stored securely within our internal database and will not be shared with third parties. This tool is intended solely for school-related communication to minimize class disruptions and ensure students receive information as quickly as possible.

Equitable Communication

We recognize that not all students have personal cell phones. This is an optional addition to our communication toolkit. For students without phones, or those who choose not to provide a number, we will continue to use email, social media, and traditional school announcements to ensure everyone stays informed.

Phone Policy Reminder

Please note that our current electronics policy remains in effect. Students will continue to have access to their phones between classes and during lunch periods. We view this update as a step toward more equitable and efficient communication for our school community.

Next Steps

We encourage students to fill out the form and we will add you. If you have any questions regarding this new feature or how the data will be used, please reach out to the school administration office.

Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our school community connected.
