Good afternoon Palomino families,
We had an AMAZING 1st day of the 2023-2024 year! Thank you for all of your support in getting students here for class at 8 am and pumping them up with positivity and excitement- we could see it and feel it here today.
Please remember that we are a device free school where no cellphones, Airpods/earbuds, or smartwatches cannot be out and visible in the classrooms or in the hallways at passing period. The only time that they can be used is at lunch- students did an outstanding job with this today!
Please remind your child to write down their schedule as they cannot refer to their phones. Starting Monday, August 14, if the devices are out they will be taken and a parent/guardian will be required to pick it up at the school.
Thank you again, Parents and Guardians, for your partnership in making this school year the best one yet for your student. We cannot wait for Day 2 tomorrow!
Have a pleasant evening.
