Announcements

• Welcome back students and staff.  We want to share information regarding updated districtwide expectations for Personal Electronic Devices, which take effect today, now that it's 2026.  These expectations align with statewide guidance issued through our Governor’s Executive Order and reflect a shared commitment to focused learning environments, student safety, and equitable practices.  Throughout the entire Instructional day, personal electronic devices are expected to be off and away — powered off and not visible or accessible.   This expectation applies for the entire school day, from first bell to last bell, including passing times and meal periods.  Students may still communicate with their families through school systems (front office phone for instance) when needed.  At Sheldon we will ask students to PARK their phones when in class in the designated area.  During passing periods, breaks and meal times, students need to PACK their phones in backpacks prior to leaving class. We are all still learning and adjusting to these new expectations, and we thank you for your help as we implement these changes thoughtfully and consistently.  As always remember the ROSE - be Respectful of Others, your Self and our Environment. 
• Starting next week, the office will no longer provide loaner laptops unless you are taking a test or quiz in class, or your original laptop is currently being repaired. This change is necessary because we have a limited number of loaner laptops. When students who are waiting for repairs need a replacement, we must have loaners available for them. Please make sure to bring your laptop everyday to school and charged.
• The Gender and Sexuality Alliance meets today at lunch in room F-6. GSA provides a safe space for LGBTQIA2+ students and allies to come together, engage in discussions and activities, such as games or crafts,  learn about queer history, and build community.
