Hickory Point News-Guidelines for Illness and Cell Phones and Smart Watches
Guidelines for Illness
As we are now in the cold and flu season, parents may wonder when to send their children to school or to keep them at home. Our district nursing staff have clear guidelines on parental care on the District Health Resources website. If you have questions, please feel free to contact our school nurse, Mrs. Melanie Zimmerman, zimmerman.m@nb27.org
Cell Phones and Smartwatches
We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a positive learning environment. Children using cellular phones and smartwatches during the school day disrupt the learning environment. These devices are prohibited from being used during school hours. Cell phones should remain off during the school day. If children need to reach a parent during the day, they must consult with a teacher or go to the school office. If your child has a personal device, please help us help them use it appropriately at school. Parents should refrain from texting or calling a child during the school day. If you need to send a message to your child, please contact the office, and we will deliver it at an appropriate time during the school day. Thank you for your partnership in this effort!
