Congratulations to the Pk-6 elementary students and Ms. Kesting and Mrs. Heithoff on being today's Bobcat Catch of the Day. They are nominated for their hard work and responsibility in preparing for and carrying out last night's AWESOME elementary Christmas program! What a fabulous job they did!
Dear Parents & Guardians,
The rise of mental health problems in teenagers is closely linked to increased cell phone usage, particularly social media exposure, which can result in feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Constant notifications, pressure to maintain an online presence, and exposure to curated content often contribute to unrealistic comparisons and decreased self-esteem.
To address these issues, Summerland Public Schools wants to make you aware of changes in student cell phone usage that will begin in January when students return after the holiday break. Students will still be able to use their cell phones before school, during passing periods, at lunch, and after school. They will not be allowed to use them in the classrooms or library at all during class periods. This is the change as it had been up to the teachers in the past. Students will be asked to turn them upside down on the corner of the desks or put them into a container monitored by the teacher.
There will be no warnings. If a student uses or checks his or her phone during class, the first offense, the teacher will take the phone to the office, and the student will have detention. For the second offense, the student will lose the privilege of his or her phone for two weeks. They will have to check it into the principal’s office for the entire day. Any offense after this is an automatic two-week no-phone suspension again.
The other change is if a student is on the F down list, he or she will have to check his or her phone into the principal’s office each day for the week. They may pick it up before they leave each day.
Encouraging students to focus on learning and in-person connections and promoting activities that build social skills and resilience, the school hopes to reduce distractions and foster healthier habits among students.
Thank you,
The Summerland Administration
We hope to see you this Friday!
