Cell Phones

I will not tolerate cell phone use in my class. You may not listen to music during independent work. At the beginning of each class day, I will tell you to put your phones away. If I see your phone at all during class (even if it is just sitting on the desk) I will confiscate it. The first time I confiscate your phone will result in a call home. The second time will result in an admin referral. If you refuse to give me your phone in class, I will press the button and an admin will take your phone as is the school policy. I do not do this to be mean. If you are on your phone during class, you are not paying attention and therefore will not be successful. I want you all to be successful not only in my class, but in life. Please respect this policy!


No Latework will be accepted.
