Dear Yellow Jacket Parents and Guardians, Happy New Year! We hope that your family enjoyed a restful and joyful winter break. As we begin a new semester, we are excited to welcome back our students and continue our learning, growing, and success journey. Students will report to their 1st Block class tomorrow. There will be signs around the building showing the location of 1st block classes. To ensure a smooth and focused start, we’d like to remind everyone of the updated Electronic Device Policy, which will take effect Jan. 7th. This policy is designed to create an optimal learning environment free from unnecessary distractions: Students are not permitted to use personal electronic devices, including cell phones, smartwatches, personal laptops/tablets and earbuds, during the school day. All devices must remain off and stored securely in lockers from the start of the first period until the end of the last period. Devices may be used only before school and after dismissal.
