Hi Coyote families!
Most of you are likely aware of the new law regarding Personal Electronic Communication Devices (cell phones and similar devices) that takes effect September 1, 2026. Over the past several months, we have been developing a policy by gathering input from students, parents, staff, community members, and the Board of Education.

Attached is a letter explaining the work completed and how the policy will function. We will pilot the policy starting Wednesday, April 1st. Our goal in piloting the policy now is to identify and address any issues before it officially takes effect.

Please review the letter. On Monday, after final data is collected, I will send additional materials, including the legislation, a summary of the law, the pilot policy (effective 4-1-26), the consequence chart, and a parent/student acknowledgment form to print, sign, and return.

Attention parents, students, and staff. We wanted to make you aware of a change that will be happening effective immediately. We are no longer able to store student lunches in our main walk in cooler at the school. Students who bring a lunch will need to provide proper cold pack storage in their lunchboxes and store them in their lockers. No students will be allowed access to this area for any reason without the direct supervision of a teacher or class sponsor. Thank you.
