Recognizing the necessity of ensuring safe and productive learning environments for students and educators, legislation was passed in NY to create a statewide standard for distraction-free school environments. Our Fredonia students embraced this idea last year with the No Cell Bell to Bell policy. Designed to eliminate electronic distractions and foster greater engagement in the classroom, the policy was a tremendous success. Teachers and students alike have seen the benefits of uninterrupted instructional time, and they look forward to another year of focused learning and stronger connections. We look forward to building on that success as we start the new school year!
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please call the school office of the building your student attends. If your student needs to reach you during the school day, they can ask for permission to come to the main office to call home. To make it easier to get in touch with our building offices, we've included a contact infographic.
See you September 2nd!
