📵 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR THE 2026–27 SCHOOL YEAR 📵
Beginning with the 2026–27 school year, cell phones and other personal wireless communication devices will not be permitted during classroom instructional time.
This change follows Michigan House Bill 4141 and Senate Bill 495, which establish a statewide requirement for K–12 public and charter schools to restrict smartphone and wireless communication device use during instructional time. While the state sets the requirement, each school district is responsible for creating and enforcing its own specific policy.
Why the change? The goal is simple: fewer distractions and more learning.
Cell phones can interrupt instruction, pull students' attention away from their work, and make it more difficult for students to stay engaged in the classroom. Limiting phone use during instructional time helps create an environment where students can focus, participate, interact with their classmates and teachers, and get the most out of each school day.
We appreciate the support of our parents and families as we work together to help our students have a successful school year.

Despite the chilly spring weather, these students dedicated several hours to making a positive difference and helping keep our community beautiful. Their hard work, teamwork, and commitment to service are something to be proud of.

📚🎬 6th Grade Language Arts Celebration!
Our 6th grade students recently finished reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba, an inspiring true story about determination, creativity, and the power of education.
To celebrate completing the book, students enjoyed a class celebration yesterday while watching the movie version of the story! It was a great opportunity for them to compare the book to the film and see how William’s incredible journey came to life on screen.
Throughout this unit, students explored themes of perseverance, problem-solving, and innovation, and learned how one young person’s idea helped bring electricity and hope to his village.
Great job to our 6th graders for their thoughtful discussions and hard work during this unit! 👏📖
