I\u2019m excited for you to meet a few new people who will be teaching at PCMS this year (and hopefully for many years to come)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to mark Thursday, September 26 on your calendar. This is our Back to School Night, and it\u2019s a great event. You\u2019ll get to meet your student\u2019s teachers, our counselors and administrators, and our PCCO president. Also, you\u2019ll see the beautiful school where your child spends a majority of their time from September to June. We\u2019ll send more info at a later time, but please mark your calendar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish you all an awesome final week of summer, and I look forward to the new year!

Restricting access to phones and personal electronics during the school day helps students focus on learning, engage with teachers and peers, and develop skills and habits for life beyond school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please be sure your student is aware of the following expectations for phones and other personal electronic devices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">High School<\/span>: Students will silence their phones and place them in a classroom phone caddy at the beginning of each class period. Phones are to remain in the caddy until the class period is over. Students also must refrain from wearing or using wireless earbuds during class time. Students may use their phones and other devices during lunch and breaks between classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Middle School<\/span>: Students are not permitted to have phones or wireless earbuds during the school day. Phones and other personal devices are to be turned off and stored in students\u2019 lockers for the entire school day, from the morning bell to end-of-day dismissal.

Phones and other personal devices are to be turned off and stored in their backpacks for the entire school day, from the morning bell to end-of-day dismissal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Smartwatches<\/span>: Many students wear watches that can access apps on their phone. Students are not permitted to use a smartwatch to access mobile apps or the Internet, or to send and receive messages (text or call) during class periods. Elementary and middle school students are not permitted to use smartwatches for those purposes anytime during the school day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Violations<\/span>: Students who violate these rules are subject to disciplinary action, including surrendering their phone or device to the school office until the end of the day. After repeated violations, a student\u2019s phone or device will be held until a parent or guardian picks it up at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recognize that it can be challenging to manage personal device expectations throughout the school year. We are committed to working with students, families, teachers and administrators to meet these expectations and provide the best learning environment we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, please call your school office if you have an urgent need to contact your student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dispositivos Electr\u00f3nicos Personales<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1pyEPIkKw4u7ne_YG3KWCzY7MUhloXFLe\/edit?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=101289366697057716157&amp;rtpof=true&amp;sd=true\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1pyEPIkKw4u7ne_YG3KWCzY7MUhloXFLe\/edit?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=101289366697057716157&amp;rtpof=true&amp;sd=true\">espa\u00f1ol<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No se permite que los alumnos utilicen sus tel\u00e9fonos en el aula.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Los dispositivos deben estar apagados y recogidos durante todo el d\u00eda en todos los grados.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En las escuelas de Bend-La Pine creemos que la mejor manera para que los alumnos participen en su aprendizaje es limitar las distracciones en el aula. Restringir el acceso a los tel\u00e9fonos y a los electr\u00f3nicos personales durante el d\u00eda escolar ayuda a los alumnos a enfocarse, a participar con los maestros y los compa\u00f1eros, y a desarrollar destrezas y habilidades para la vida m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la escuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por favor, aseg\u00farese de que su alumno es consciente de las siguientes expectativas con respecto a los tel\u00e9fonos y otros dispositivos electr\u00f3nicos personales:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Escuelas superiores<\/span>: Los alumnos silenciar\u00e1n sus tel\u00e9fonos y los ubicar\u00e1n en la caja para tel\u00e9fonos del aula al comienzo de cada per\u00edodo de clase. Los tel\u00e9fonos permanecer\u00e1n en la caja hasta que termine el per\u00edodo de clase. Los alumnos no deben llevar tampoco ni utilizar aud\u00edfonos sin cable durante el tiempo de clase. Los alumnos pueden utilizar sus tel\u00e9fonos y otros dispositivos durante el almuerzo y los descansos entre clases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Escuelas secundarias<\/span>: No se permite que los alumnos tengan tel\u00e9fonos o aud\u00edfonos sin cable durante el d\u00eda escolar. Los tel\u00e9fonos y otros dispositivos personales deben estar apagados y guardados en los casilleros de los alumnos durante todo el d\u00eda escolar, desde el timbre de entrada al de salida al final del d\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Escuelas primarias<\/span>: No se permite que los alumnos tengan tel\u00e9fonos o aud\u00edfonos sin cable durante el d\u00eda escolar. Los tel\u00e9fonos y otros dispositivos personales deben estar apagados y guardados en sus mochilas durante todo el d\u00eda escolar, desde el timbre de entrada al de salida al final del d\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Relojes inteligentes<\/span>: Muchos alumnos llevan relojes con los que pueden acceder a las aplicaciones de su tel\u00e9fono. No se permite que los alumnos utilicen sus relojes inteligentes para acceder a las aplicaciones m\u00f3viles o el internet, o para enviar y recibir mensajes (ni de texto ni de llamada) durante los per\u00edodos de clases. No se permite que los alumnos de primaria y secundaria utilicen relojes inteligentes para esos prop\u00f3sitos en ning\u00fan momento del d\u00eda escolar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Infracciones<\/span>:&nbsp;Los alumnos que rompan estas normas est\u00e1n sujetos a medidas disciplinarias, incluyendo entregar su tel\u00e9fono o dispositivo en la oficina de la escuela hasta el final del d\u00eda. Despu\u00e9s de varias infracciones, el tel\u00e9fono o dispositivo de un alumno se guardar\u00e1 hasta que un padre o tutor lo recoja de la oficina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reconocemos que puede ser un reto gerenciar las expectativas con respecto a los dispositivos personales a lo largo del a\u00f1o escolar. Estamos comprometidos a trabajar con los alumnos, las familias, los maestros y administradores para cumplir con estas expectativas y proporcionar el mejor entorno para el aprendizaje que podamos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Como siempre, por favor, llame a la oficina de su escuela si tiene una necesidad urgente de ponerse en contacto con su alumno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bell Schedules<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1-8WNR7J6B1lQS8pmJyZvRzGJOwe-dTtEkmDsqpMu2rE\/edit?usp=sharing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1-8WNR7J6B1lQS8pmJyZvRzGJOwe-dTtEkmDsqpMu2rE\/edit?usp=sharing\">Click this link to view &amp; print<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image-1024x673.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4643\" style=\"width:682px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image-1024x673.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image-1536x1009.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/pcms\/files\/2024\/08\/image.png 1824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Authorization for Medication Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your student will require medication at school, please take a moment to read the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bend.k12.or.us\/application\/files\/9917\/1717\/6630\/Administration_of_Medications_at_School_English-Spanish_24-25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">district guidelines<\/a>.
