Life is full of distractions that keep us from performing our best.

Our expectation is that classrooms are cell phone free zones.

The classroom is a space for learning and engagement in preparation for a student’s next step in life. Join us in fostering this commitment to learning by:

• Talking with your student about their cell phone use in school.

• Be prepared to set limits and to collaborate with school staff in making learning a priority.
