Reminder: EISD Cell Phone/Device Policy
In accordance with House Bill 1481, Elgin ISD requires all students to leave their personal communication devices at home or power them off and store them away, out of sight, while on school property during the school day. The school day begins at the signal of the first bell and ends at the signal of the dismissal bell, and includes tutorial periods, all instructional time, lunch, and passing periods.
Help us help our Wildcats stay focused on their learning!
______________________________
De conformidad con la Ley HB 1481, Elgin ISD requiere que todos los estudiantes dejen sus dispositivos personales de comunicación en casa o que los apaguen y los guarden fuera de la vista mientras se encuentren en la propiedad escolar durante el día escolar.
El día escolar comienza con el primer timbre y termina con el timbre de salida, e incluye los períodos de tutoría, todo el tiempo de instrucción, el almuerzo y los cambios de clase.
¡Ayúdenos a ayudar a nuestros Wildcats a mantenerse enfocados en su aprendizaje!
