Just a reminder to all students and parents that our YONDR pouch policy is still in effect. We loved being phone free last semester and will be continuing that policy this spring. It was very beneficial as evidenced by improved grades and behavior. It may be hard for some to put down the technology after Christmas break. This is just a reminder that if you bring your phone, smart watch or any blue tooth device into the school, it must be locked in a YONDR pouch. If you need a pouch, stop by the high school office.
Attention seniors, get help filling out the FAFSA.
