Cell Phone/iPod/Electronic Devices
The use of cell phones/iPods/electronic devices is not permitted during the school hours of 8:20 – 3:25. We our asking for your help as the teachers and administrators try to ensure the learning environment is distraction free. We have asked the students not to use these devices but unfortunately we are still having a problem. Administration will be forced to take different measures to change this behavior, which may result in devices being taken up for the day, if they are being used during school hours. Our hope is to have you speak to your student about following the school policy and making them aware of this expectation so we do not have to enforce such a consequence.
