Cell Phone & Electronics Policy Reminder
Students are not allowed to use personal electronics at school. This includes: tablets, game systems, cell phones, apple watches, ear buds, etc. Devices should be OFF and AWAY prior to entering the building and should remain off until students exit the building. Please don't text your child during class time. If you need to reach your child, please call the front office and they will deliver a message to your child.
- The first time a student is caught using electronics the item will be given to the front office and the student may pick it up after school.
- The second time a parent/guardian must come to school to pick up the item.
- The third time a parent/guardian meeting will be held with the principal to determine the next steps.
While cell phones are convenient communication tools, repeated notifications and accessing electronics during the school can negatively impact a student's ability to focus on learning. Some students receive up to 20-30 notifications per hour during the day.
