If you could rewrite the policy...

Students,

I would like to ask for your feedback on a question: If you could write a high school cell phone policy, what would it look like? Imagine we are just opening our school, and everything else is the same as what you see now (facilities, infrastructure, schedule, etc.), but we are writing a cell phone policy from scratch.

Let's hear what you think!

Great Start & A Day Off

Eagle Family,

Thank you for such a great start to our school year!

As you can see from my blog, the new year arrived quickly, and got started before we knew it! It's hard to believe that two weeks are already behind us!

Students, I can't tell you enough how proud I am of the way you have launched the new year so smoothly. Teachers & Staff, thank you for responding with such grace to all the changes we made over the summer.

Everyone, enjoy the Labor Day holiday, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
