CELL PHONES(PART 2): The issue of student cell use was raised following the recent range fire incident. Cell phones were a significant distraction during the incident. Please call the school phone (308-636-2252) if you need to speak to your student during the day. Please limit calls during emergencies if possible.
CELL PHONES ARE PROHIBITED (PART 1): The student cell phone policy has been updated on the website. The student handbook and the policy are now in alignment. If students bring cell phones to school they are required to turn them in to the office. See Policy #6025 under MENU: SCHOOL BOARD: BOARD POLICIES.
