🎒📚 It’s that time of year again!

📣 Drivers and parents — let’s gear up for a safe and amazing school year! With students walking, biking, and heading back to class, you’ll notice more activity around neighborhoods, school zones, and drop-off areas.

Every cautious moment helps protect our kids!

The law aims to reduce distractions, prevent cyberbullying, and encourage students to be more present in the learning environment and social interactions.

Here is an informational flyer to help understand the new rules for communication devices. Students may still have their personal communication devices at school but they must remain turned off and in their backpacks until they leave the school premises.

🚨 FOR PARENTS: Dangerous Trend Alert 🚨

Please talk to your kids.

There is a dangerous trend, widely circulating on social media, which demonstrates how to cause a laptop to catch fire. It’s important to communicate, this isn’t a TikTok prank. It’s a potentially life-threatening act.

Burning lithium-ion batteries release highly toxic gases that can cause:
• Severe respiratory problems
• Chemical exposure
• And long-term health effects for anyone nearby

Worse yet, these fires can easily explode, spread quickly, and lead to serious burns. Let them know this trend isn’t just dangerous and reckless, it endangers others and can have lifelong consequences.
