Mustangs Ready to Learn
Cell Phone Policy
As stated in our Student Handbook and highlighted in our MBMS News this week: cell phone expectation is for students to power down their cell phone as they enter campus. Student cell phones should remain off during the school day to focus on learning. At the end of the school day, students may power on your cell phone as you exit campus.
Violation of phone policy:
Violation of phone policy will result in confiscation of the phone by school staff.
Phones will be held in the Assistant Principal’s office to be returned only to the student’s parent or guardian.
Repeated violations of our phone policy will result in permanent loss of phone privileges for the remainder of the school year.

Here are a few important announcements:
High School Counselors from PHS, MCHS and RBHS will be visiting our 8th grade students at Meadowbrook on March 1st during 1st period. Your student will attend the presentation based on the high school they are designated to attend.
