Cell Phone Policy

Students and parents, please remember that students are required to give up their cell phones when they enter the classroom. It is state law that cell phones are not to be used by students during instructional time. This includes when students leave the classroom to go to the restroom or to go to another location in the building. Parents, please reinforce with your students that if cell phones, air pods or other devices are used during the school day they will be confiscated and students will receive consequences. We want your students to be focused on learning and not their devices at school.
