Principals Report:
- (2024-2025) Digital Citizenship
- Is there any access to social media? NO social media access in elementary schools.
- How do we communicate digital citizenship better to parents?
- Students are learning about digital citizenship through thrive time lessons and in STEAM booster class.
- Technology Connect portal- login with your kids’ skyward information. This will let you manage your child’s restriction level on their school Chromebooks/accounts.
- Please see the district website for more information: https://www.canyonsdistrict.org/scc-digital-citizenship/
- We need more education for parents about digital citizenship and how to better monitor their students’ digital usage at school.
- (2024 – 2025) Safety Plan
- Parking Lot Issues: Culture changing idea to have parents volunteer to come during pick up mostly.
- Playground safety change: cones have been placed outside to limit areas that students can access during recess. Specifically the areas in the far fields near the fences.
- Doors not latching and remaining locked in some parts of the building. Interior doors should be closed to help air flow problems with door latching.
- School Safe Walking Route Review
- A lot of questions came in after the newsletter came out about the walkways. Conversations about the importance of picking up students at the school versus neighboring streets/pickup spots.
- Review Personal Electronic Devices
- Policy with personal electronic devices such as a phone or watch: students must have it in their backpacks.
- If they have it out and it is a problem:
- First time= teacher takes and gives back at the end of the day
- Second time= teacher takes and parent has to pick up at end of day
- Third time= teacher takes and brings to principal. Principal calls home and the parent has to pick up the item.
- Cell Tower Fund approval
- Stipend for BLT member Katie Rasmussen – $500.00
- October Safety Drill Report
- 100% up to date
- Secure drill this month went very well.
- The new emergency system, CrisisGo app, is a way for teachers to report their students accounted for on their phone or computer.
- We are trying to vary the times when we do drills so that students are practicing during different times of the day.
