Looking for some great talking points to spark a conversation about what your child is learning?
Right now, students are learning about government, the rights of citizens, and important leaders in history who fought for equality and justice, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Alice Paul, Cesar Chavez, and Rosa Parks.
Here are some questions you can ask your child to get them thinking and sharing:
*If you could change one law, what would it be and why?
*If there weren’t any laws, what would our community look like?
*Why do you think it’s important for people to stand up for their rights?
*Which leader that we’ve learned about do you connect with most, and why?
*What are some rights that you think kids should have?
*How can you make a difference in your classroom or community?
Students are allowed to possess cell phones and other electronic devices such as watches, iPads, Nooks, Kindles, and other tablets on campus. All electronic devices must be turned off during the school day unless specific permission is granted by a teacher or administration. Students may not record, video, or take a picture of another student or staff without prior written consent. All electronic devices may only be used for educational purposes under the direct supervision of a teacher or administration. Electronic devices can be used before and after school to call and text messages only. Otherwise, devices MUST be kept in backpacks during the instructional day. Students will have access to their backpacks in case of an emergency. Students may not use their personal devices to call or message home during the day. All students who need to call home must use school phones with permission from the teacher or staff during school hours. Consequences for not following our school policy: Items may be retained in the Assistant Principal's’ office for pickup at the end of the student’s school day. At teacher or administrator request, a parent/guardian may be required to pick up the student’s electronic device. The school will not be responsible for loss or theft of electronic devices.
