A huge ✨THANK YOU✨ to our local Shriners for their generous donation of gift cards to our South Elementary teachers! Your support means so much to our Wildcats. 🐾💚🍎 #WildcatTradition #Community #OneTeamOneTown
Our youngest Wildcats at South Elementary had a busy and fun day of learning! 🌟
Students practiced sensory color sorting with beans, shape sorting on the light table, and even made the letter Tt with shapes and turtles. 🐢🔺🔤
#WildcatTradition #SensoryLearning #HandsOnLearning
South Elementary students made learning a blast!! From practicing math with colorful cereal to writing “How to Eat an Oreo” stories and reinforcing spelling with shaving cream, they showed how learning can be fun, engaging, and full of success. ✨

📵 New State Law & District Policy = Cell Phone-Free School Days
A new Missouri law (Senate Bill 68) now requires all public schools to restrict student use of personal electronic communication devices throughout the school day. This new law is reflected in all district handbooks under the Technology F-265-S policy.
🔒 What This Means:
From the first bell to dismissal, students must keep devices powered off and stored in backpacks or lockers — including during:
✅ Class time
✅ Passing periods
✅ Lunch and breakfast
✅ Breaks or recess
📞 Need to Reach Your Child?
Call the school office — we’ll make sure your student gets the message or comes to the office if needed.
🚫 No device use during school hours — including for music, calculators, photos, or messaging.
📱 What Counts as a Device?
Any personal tech used to send, receive, store, or view information, including:
• Cell phones
• Tablets
• Smartwatches
• Gaming devices
• Earbuds/headphones
• Meta/AI glasses
• Laptops
✅ Exceptions Apply When:
Devices are used as required by a student’s:
• IEP or 504 Plan
• Individualized Health or Emergency Plan
• ELL accommodations under federal law
• Or in an emergency, as determined by staff
• OR when a teacher has explicit, pre-approved permission to use them for instructional purposes
🎒 Storage Reminder:
Phones must stay off and out of sight during the day. Any distractions or misuse will result in confiscation. A parent/guardian must pick up the device from the principal’s office.
Thank you for your support as we implement this law and continue promoting a focused, engaging learning environment. 💚🐾
