Hello everyone, my name is Jackeline Moreno. I am the new District Community Outreach Specialist for the Banning Unified School District. I am very excited to take on this new role and make connections with all of the community here in Banning. I connect students and their families to resources for food, clothing, academic and social emotional support. Outreach and parent and family engagement are primary functions of my position. I am focused on promoting attendance awareness and work to help our schools sites in promoting a positive and fun learning environment for all. I support Centralized Registration and Student Services programs. Parents can contact me with questions about anything in the District and I will respond with the answer or get families connected to the correct staff for answers. Please contact me at (951) 922-0224 or email me at jmoreno@banning.k12.ca.us. I look forward to working with you.

Good afternoon Palomino Families,
It has come to the attention of the school administration that there is a new social media challenge where students are planning fights with the intention of recording these fights to distribute and/or post them on social media platforms such as SnapChat, TikTok, and Instagram. This is very disturbing and unsettling, and we ask for your help in monitoring your child's social media usage. It is only together as a community that we can influence positive behavior and healthy social media habits.
We also ask that you remind your student of the following:
-Cell phones must be inside their backpacks when they arrive on campus and they are only allowed to be used at lunch time. After lunch they must be put back inside the backpack and not come out again until dismissal.
-Students whose phones are confiscated will need to be picked up by an adult after school. Students who repeatedly have their device confiscated and/or record fights or contribute to social media cyberbullying will be placed on a Cell Phone Contract. Students on this contract will not be allowed to have the phone on their person during the school day as it will be stored in Office 111 at the start of school and retrieved by the student at the end of the day.
-Fighting, bullying, and cyberbullying is not allowed and will lead to serious consequences such as suspension and/or expulsion. All students have a counselor they can talk to, can come to Office 111 to make a report, and have email capabilities to discreetly inform teachers/administration.
Thank you for your help. Please reach out to the Main Office if you have any questions.

Good morning Palomino Families,
Today is the day that Palominos are receiving their Nicolet Middle School ID cards and lanyards. Their ID card and lanyard delivered today are free but replacements will come at cost.
If your student did not receive it today, it is the goal to ensure they have it by tomorrow at the latest. We appreciate your patience in waiting for these to be delivered.
Like last year, these lanyards must be worn and visible at all times while students are on campus. If they take the bus they should also wear their lanyard. The only time a student does not need to wear the lanyard is during PE/sports when they are dressed out and participating.
Please also note that the picture must be visible. Please remind your Palomino that the picture cannot be covered by a sticker or other means. We appreciate your help with this reminder.
PAAC Track 1 stickers are also placed on the ID Lanyards if they qualify. Any questions on PAAC Track eligibility can be inquired with ASB, room 105, during the student's lunch time or after school.
Thank you for your support and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the Main Office. Take care and enjoy your day.
