Pajama Drive

Mrs. Sanders 3rd grade students are holding a pajama drive  November 25  - December 6.  

What to donate:

 - Brand-new pajamas in all sizes, from newborn to adult.

 - Pajamas must be complete sets - a top and a bottom or an appropriate nightgown.

 - Pajamas for all seasons, but especially for the winter months.

For every pair of pajamas that is donated through the Great Bedtime Story Pajamas Drive, Scholastic Book Clubs will donate a brand-new book to Pajama Program to give kids affected by instability a good-night - for a good day.

Thank you for your donations. 

New cell phone policy

The use of cell phones in the classroom can distract students from instruction, yet can be important to have accessible in case of emergency. With this in mind, the district has adopted a new policy 3246 and procedure 3246P which prohibits cell phone use in the classroom while still providing access for students in case of emergency.

Elementary school students who choose to bring cell phones to school may only use them before or after the school day. During the school day, they must be powered off and stored (e.g., in the student’s backpack, locker, other district provided storage). There will be storage in the classroom so, in the event of an emergency, the cell phones will be accessible without leaving the classroom.
