We have been asked if the cell phone policy for the 6-12 building has changed. In reality, there has been no major change to the cell phone policy for our building. Students may have cell phones before/after school, in between classes and at lunch. This policy has been in place for a number of years. 

This year, a majority of teachers decided cell phones would not be permitted in the classroom. This move was made to reduce the amount of disruption from cell phones in the classroom. In some classrooms, teachers have students place their cell phone in a wall pouch for the class period. In other classrooms, they must keep it in their book bags. Teachers may still give assignments where students use their cell phone in class or study hall. In those situations, it isn't an issue.  

In general, please avoid calling or texting your child directly during the school day if it can be avoided. We do ask parents to reach out to the school and/or their child by calling 419-636-4536 in case of emergency. We can then call your child to the office at the least disruptive time. This will avoid disrupting classroom instruction and the learning of those around your child. It also prevents your child from missing out on lesson information and from potential behavior issues.
