As you are probably aware the Kansas state legislature passed HB 2299, a law banning cell phones and all other personal communication devices from schools. The law requires the ban to last from the start of the school day through dismissal including during classes, lunch, recess and passing periods. To support a focused and engaging learning environment, any phone or personal device brought to school will be safely collected by the school administration, the student will be disciplined according to the updated Cell Phone Policy in the USD 223 Student Handbook and the device(s) will be returned to the parent during school hours or immediately after school dismissal.
According to the legislation, banned devices include: Cell phones Tablets and personal computers Smartwatches Wireless headphones and earbuds Text messaging devices Personal digital assistants The law does not include technology issued by the school district. However, messaging capabilities on school issued devices will be disabled.
Exceptions to the Ban The law allows for very limited exceptions. Students may use a personal device if: It is required under an Individualized Education Plan or 504 Plan A licensed physician has approved it as a medical necessity - and only as a last resort when no other option is available
Parents, thank you in advance for your help and support in implementing this policy/law.

We are excited to share that Washington Health & Drug will once again be providing FREE school supplies and backpacks for our elementary students during enrollment on August 3rd and 4th. We are incredibly grateful for their continued generosity and support of our Linn Bulldog families!
We are also looking for a couple of high school students to help distribute supplies during enrollment. This is a great opportunity to earn community service hours while giving back to our school.
If you’re interested in helping, please reach out to Dana Helms for more information.
Thank you, Washington Health & Drug, for helping our students start the school year prepared for success!

Kansas FFA Convention Day 2 Recap
We celebrated as Liam Voelker and Izzy Rogge were recognized as state finalists for the proficiency awards. Proficiency awards recognize members for outstanding supervised agricultural experiences (SAE's), their work based learning experiences.
We had some time to enjoy each other's company while testing our bowling skills.
Later in the day, we also served as part of Courtesy Corps. These are members who help the McCain Auditorium staff guide members and guests to seats, help monitor the convention hall, and help clean up and set up for the next session.
We capped the day with the Kansas FFA Alumni and Supporters' Dodgeball Tournament at Ignite the Night at the K-State Rec, where we came away as the Dodgeball Tournament Champions.
