Summary

Student representatives Eva Nye and Carter Chu told the board that the district expanded preschool to Davenport Elementary, implemented a strict no‑phone policy districtwide, and started a 30‑minute 'talent time' early-period aimed at social and emotional learning.

Student school board representatives Eva Nye and Carter Chu opened the student report with an overview of fall events and program changes. "My name is Eva Nye," Nye said, and the pair described back‑to‑school nights and several community events.

They announced the district expanded preschool to Davenport Elementary and that a districtwide no‑phone policy is now in place. "It is strictly no phones, and that has been implemented throughout the entire school district," one student representative said, adding the district has already seen students more engaged in class and study hall. The students also described a 30‑minute "talent time" at the start of each school day during an initial testing window intended to promote social and emotional learning and stronger teacher–student relationships.

The superintendent and board members welcomed the updates. Administrators told the board they will continue to share implementation details via ParentSquare and campus channels as the year progresses.

The student report also listed upcoming events: Hall of Fame (Sept. 26), EagleFest (Sept. 27), Trunk or Treat (Oct. 22) and homecoming activities (Oct. 17–18).
