Cell Phones
We hope this message finds you well. We would like to take a moment to address our school's practice (according to the ISD 728 Middle School Handbook) regarding the use of cell phones during the school day.
As part of our ongoing effort to create a focused and productive learning environment, we have a strict practice in place that prohibits students from using cell phones in classrooms and during school hours. We would like to share some important points with you regarding this practice.
Minimizing Distractions: Phones can be a major distraction for students, making it challenging for them to concentrate on their lessons. We believe that by limiting phone usage, we can enhance the overall learning experience for our students.
Encouraging Responsibility: We kindly request your assistance in encouraging your child to leave their phone at home or securely stored in their locker during the school day. This helps instill a sense of responsibility and ensures that they can fully engage in their studies.
Emergencies: In case of emergencies, we ask that you reach out to the school office rather than contacting your child on his/her cell phone. Our office staff will promptly assist you and ensure that your child receives any necessary messages or assistance.
Health Concerns: If your child experiences any health-related issues during the school day, please advise them to go to the health office. Our Health Services Assistant will assess their condition and make informed decisions regarding their well-being.
Your Support Matters: We genuinely appreciate your support in adhering to these guidelines. By working together, we can maintain a positive and productive learning environment for all students.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring that our school remains a place where students can thrive academically. If you have any questions or concerns about our phone practices, please feel free to reach out to our school office.
