Student Electronics Expectations

The following items are NOT allowed to be brought to school.

Personal computers
AI Glasses
SmartWatches
Cell Phones
Ipads
Reading Tablets (Kindle, Nooks, etc.)
Ear Buds
Wireless Headsets

***See information below about electronics expectations.

A medida que trabajamos para cumplir con la nueva legislación estatal que restringirá el acceso de los estudiantes a los teléfonos celulares (otoño de 2026), queremos compartir expectativas importantes para cuando regresemos en enero. Todos los dispositivos electrónicos deben estar apagados y guardados antes de que los estudiantes entren al edificio. Esto incluye todos los teléfonos celulares, tabletas, Apple Watches y cualquier otro dispositivo inteligente. Además, los estudiantes ya no necesitarán audífonos inalámbricos de ningún tipo. Los únicos aceptables serán los audífonos con cable utilizados con una Chromebook proporcionada por la escuela.

Entre las horas de 7:30 a 3:35, no se permitirá que ningún estudiante tenga o use ningún dispositivo que no sea la Chromebook emitida por la escuela.

Estamos comenzando la comunicación ahora para ayudar a las familias a prepararse para estos cambios en enero y para el próximo otoño.
Mirando hacia el otoño de 2026, la legislación estatal prohibirá que los estudiantes accedan a sus dispositivos durante todo el día escolar. A medida que nos acerquemos al próximo otoño, desarrollaremos y compartiremos un plan detallado para garantizar el cumplimiento total de esta ley.

Gracias por su apoyo para ayudar a mantener nuestra escuela enfocada y libre de distracciones.

Student Cell Phones/Electronics in January

As we work toward complying with new state legislation that will restrict student access to cell phones (Fall 2026), we want to share important expectations for when we return in January. All electronic devices must be turned off and put away before students enter the building. This includes all cell phones, tablets, Apple Watches, and any other smart devices. Additionally, students will no longer need wireless headsets of any kind moving forward. Wired headsets used with a school issued Chromebook will be the only ones acceptable. From the hours of 7:30-3:35, no student will be permitted to have or use any device other than their school issued Chromebook.

We are beginning communication now to help families prepare for these changes in January, and prepare for next fall.

Looking ahead to the fall of 2026, state legislation will prohibit students from accessing their devices at all during the school day. As we get closer to next fall, we will develop and share a detailed plan to ensure full compliance with this law.

Thank you for your support in helping keep our school a focused and distraction-free environment.

STEAM Kick-off!

Hello NHMS Parents!

North Hall Middle School has been diligently working toward our transition to a STEAM school, and we are proud of the outstanding presentations, research, and collaboration we have seen from our students thus far. As we begin this next semester, we will be shifting from grade-level driving questions to an exciting new approach: students will now develop and explore their own driving questions. This change is designed to foster a truly student-centered experience during STEAM time.

The primary goal of this project is to support your child in developing strong research skills, engaging in creative and critical thinking, and cultivating innovative ideas.

Although the majority of the work will take place during our dedicated STEAM period on Tuesdays, we kindly ask for your partnership in encouraging and supporting your child’s efforts at home whenever possible. We are extremely excited about this opportunity and confident that, with your support, our students will accomplish remarkable things in the upcoming semester.

Thank you for all that you do. We look forward to sharing these student-created STEAM passion projects with you in March 2026.
