GREEN ACRES CELL PHONE POLICY
No phones during instructional time at Green Acres!
Research on cell phones and learning for middle schoolers has shown that phone use distract learners. There are studies that indicated it lowers academic performance. When students have access to cell phones, they will still check them often which causes a distracted learner. At Green Acres, our no-phone policy removes these interruptions so that kids can focus, learn more, and build face to face connections during the school day. A distracted learner can not fully demonstrate their Ambitiousness. At Green Acres we believe our students have HEART for learning!
