Here is all you need to do to participate:

Student Cell Phone Use
Dear Parent or Guardian of Weyerhaeuser Students:
Cell phones have become a way of life, a technological convenience that has impacted all of our lives in one way or another. However, in the school environment, cell phones sometimes become a distraction, interruption, and a violation of FERPA laws. The ringing of the cell phone during class, taking photos, or text-messaging takes away from valuable time needed for instruction and most importantly, student learning.
We do recognize that cell phones can be a safety/security tool. Parents are urged to utilize the school phone to relay any messages that may be urgent in nature to their child. We are happy to relay any urgent information to your child.
No student will be allowed to possess or use a cell phone during the hours of 7:40 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. without staff permission. Cell phones must be off and secured in the students’ backpacks. Of course, the best security for the cell phone is to leave it home.
If a student is found to be in possession or use of a cell phone without staff permission, the phone will be confiscated, placed in a labeled envelope, and delivered to the office.
The consequences will be as follows:
1st offense: Cell phone held in the office until the end of the school day. Student will sign for the cell phone at the end of the day.
2nd offense: Cell phone held in the office until a parent or guardian can sign for the cell phone.*
3rd offense: Cell phone will be held in the office until after a meeting with the parent or guardian and the teacher or administrator. *
The student will not be allowed to keep a phone in the classroom after the 3rd offense. Instead, the student will check the phone into the office at the beginning of the school day and sign for it at the end of each school day. The duration of this step is at the discretion of administration.
*NOTE: If a cell phone is confiscated on offense B or C on a Friday or a day before a vacation, it will be returned to the student at the end of the school day with the understanding that the phone is to be surrendered to the office upon return to school.
Our goal is to create a safe environment, conducive to learning, and free of all distractions that hinder the learning process. This policy is in addition to the policy in the student handbook.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office at 360-879-1650.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Linn Ames, Principal
