Reminder: Cell Phones and Smart Watches must be off and in backpacks during the school day
Our staff has noticed an increase in student cell phone and smartwatch use in the mornings, especially among upper-grade students. As a reminder, students are required to keep all devices turned off or in airplane mode and stored in their backpacks from the time they arrive at school until the final bell. This school procedure is in accordance with Utah state law (Utah Code 53G-7-227) and Alpine School District Policy 5250. If your child has a cell phone or other electronic device, please review this expectation with them.
