Use of the School Telephone

If a call is made from the school by a student, it is expected that the call be made from the school office, rather than a personal device. The telephone in the main office is for school business only. Students must have a legitimate reason to use the telephone and a note from their teacher. We ask you to arrange with your children ahead of time where they should go after school, or the pickup schedule if they are in car pools.

The telephone will be off-limits to students calling to ask permission to go to a friend’s house after school. Students should not use classroom phones to call home.

Please do not ask the staff to relay messages to your child unless the situation is urgent as it is not appropriate to stop the instruction of all the other students for any reason other than an emergency. It is our goal to limit classroom interruptions in order to facilitate the productive use of instructional learning time.
