Students are permitted to bring a metal or plastic water bottle if they choose to utilize the waterfill stations. We ask that you do not send students with glass containers or sport-top bottles( unfortunately, we are often policing bottle squirting, etc.). We appreciate utilizing a container rather than a traditional plastic bottle as they create notes distractions and other issues. Last, we do not allow anything other than water outside of the cafeteria. We have a brand-new school and in the name of perseverance want it to remain stain-free.
Energy Drinks For the health and safety of our students, energy drinks are not permitted at school at any time. These beverages can negatively affect focus, behavior, and well-being. We encourage students to stay hydrated with water and make healthy choices that support learning throughout the day.
Transitions
Students are expected to transition from one period to the next in a direct and expedited manner. The wings are predominately grade-level specific( White – Grade 6, Red, Grade 7, Blue – Grade 8). All students are expected to transition and report to their scheduled location / classroom. Students must walk in the hallways. We have had several faculty members and students sustain injuries from students running into them.
Students are also expected to be in the classroom before the bell.
