Simple - cellphones go in the cellphone holder in the classroom when students enter the room for class. When class is ended, students can remove their cellphones from the holder.
Students still have access to their phones in case of an emergency, but the cellphone holder is to limit the distractions and bullying that can come with cellphone use.
Cellphones will only be used in class, with the teacher's permission, as students have laptops to use for any work requiring an electronic device.
Any violation will result in:
1) First offense - taken by the teacher and returned to the student at the end of class.
2) Second offense - taken by the teacher and returned to the student at the end of the school day.
3) Third offense and any additional offenses - given to Ms. Wooten until the end of the school day and possible email to parent/guardian.
