Cell Phone Policy

Telephone Use (Students)

Students who have cell phones must have them powered off and in their backpack out of sight during the day. If they become a distraction, they will be taken and given to administration to hold for the day, and returned to students at dismissal. If students’ use of cell phones becomes chronic, there will be a meeting set up with administration and parents to determine further consequences.
