Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a great break and are rejuvenated to work hard again second semester. I did want to address the cell phone policy since I received many emails and student requests to be allowed to have cell phones in class. First, I want to state that we will follow Pinellas County Schools Code of Conduct. In the Code of Conduct it states that all cell phones should be off and away. If students can keep them off and away in their backpack then they are meeting the Code of Conduct. However, if you know your student is easily distracted by their cell phone then they might be better off keeping their cell phone in their locker. Please also remember that in any emergency situation our main focus is to get everyone out safely; no one will be stopping to get cell phones out of bags or lockers. I hope that you will talk with your students about their decision where their cell phone is best kept. I also want to tell you that we will be enforcing discipline if students cannot keep their cell phones off and away in their bags or lockers. I will first be addressing students during the announcements the first week back to clarify what is okay and what is not. I also want to let you know since we started enforcing "off and away," our students have been more focused on school at school and less distracted by social media at school.

Melissa Broner and Principal Karen Huzar

Also please check inside this edition for the spring testing dates. It is imperative that appointments be avoided during these assessments as students that miss them will be pulled during normal class time to make up exams.
