2nd Offense– The student’s phone is kept in the office until the end of the day and return to the student at dismissal and the student’s adult is contacted.
3rd Offense– The student’s phone is kept in the office until the student’s adult picks the phone up from school.

The next PBIS class celebration is a Gingerbread House Making Party! This is a huge undertaking for our staff, and we need YOU to pull it off.
