Student Telephone Use

Children are permitted to use the school telephone only in an emergency situation. The classroom teacher must grant permission in order for a student to use the telephone. Forgotten papers, instruments, or school materials do not constitute an emergency.  Students are discouraged to bring personal cell phones to school.  However, if a parent wishes for the child to have a cell phone it must remain off and kept inside their book bag during the school day and on the bus ride home.  Smart watches that have texting capabilities should not be worn at school by students.  The school cannot be held liable if it is lost and/or damaged.

Teachers will not be interrupted during instructional time for telephone calls.  If you call during the instructional day you will be given the opportunity to leave a message on his/her voicemail.  The teacher will return your call within 24 hours.  Please be aware that teachers may not have the opportunity to check their voicemail until the school day is over.
