Water Only Request

Just a friendly reminder—please don’t send sugary drinks to school with your student. We ask that only water be brought into classrooms. Water helps keep students hydrated, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day. Thanks for helping us create a healthy and focused learning environment!

Cell Phone/Smart Watch Policy

Elementary schools will continue to enforce this policy as stated here in the elementary student handbook: All cell phones, iPods, cameras, and other electronic devices must be turned off and out of sight during the school day, unless under the supervision of a staff member. If a student wears a watch phone, it should not be used for communication, recording, or games. After the second misuse, watch phones will need to be turned off and put in the backpack during the school day. As always, we understand that our students have individualized needs, and we will provide accommodations as necessary or required on an individual basis.

Exciting news! Black Diamond has qualified for free breakfast and lunch for ALL students for the 2025–2026 school year! Please note, that if a student takes milk only, there will be a $0.65 charge.

Your student will bring home a Free & Reduced Meals form. If you believe your family may qualify based on income, please complete and return this form.

Why is this important? If enough families qualify, Black Diamond will be able to continue offering free meals for all students in future years as well. Thank you for helping us keep this valuable program going!

We are so excited for our fall catalog fundraiser with Cherrydale, starting this Monday! Packets will come home that day with your student. Inside the packet and on the envelope you’ll find coupons—make sure your student turns those in daily for the prize drawings. More info is at blackdiamondpto.com/cherrydale.

A big thank you to everyone who came to our first PTO meeting of the year—what an amazing turnout! We love seeing new faces and hope you’ll keep coming back. Don’t forget that PTO memberships need to be renewed each year, and you can also purchase a yearbook on our website. Scholarships are available for both!
