This week we will be focusing on Cell Phones in our building. Students, teacher, paras, and Ms. Jensen will all be looking at and ensuring that we know and follow our cell phone policy. According to our Student Handbook, the policy on cell phones is as follows:
Cell Phones
Cell Phones are not to be used inside a bathroom or locker room during the school day. Cell phones may be used before 8:30 in the school cafeteria, during lunch in the school cafeteria, outside, or in the gym, in hallways during passing times, and after school. The use of a cell phone in any other location is not allowed.
The school reserves the right to hold the confiscated item for repeat offenders. Abusing these privileges may result in students not being allowed to possess a cell phone in the school building for 30 school days. The school day begins with the first bell at 8:20 a.m. and continues until 3:30 p.m. Students needing to use a phone may use the school phones before school, during lunch, and after school after securing permission from the office or use their cell phone in the office after gaining the permission of the principal or designee.
Any unauthorized electronic device seen or heard in all non-allowed areas will be subject to confiscation of such device and disciplinary action may follow. Parent pick-up will be required if an electronic device is confiscated for the second time during the school day. If a student is late to class due to the use of a cell phone without the permission of the principal or designee, the student will have the device confiscated for the rest of the day. On the second offense, the student loses the right to possess a phone on school property for thirty school days. The school does not assume responsibility for electronic devices brought to school or any other non-school-related items confiscated by the administration.

Students, a reminder that cell phones should be placed in the holder, basket, etc. in all classes to ensure that the instruction is your main focus for the day. Research indicates that students only obtain about 60% of material when cell phones are left in your pocket, and only about 23% of material shared when cell phones are left out on the table, in their hands or within eyesight.
