Cell phones and Dress Code pg. 67 and 68 Student Code of Conduct
As we are entering into the Spring and STAAR testing is fast approaching, we are asking for your help in these two areas.
- Cell phones can be a huge distraction for our students. We follow the Student Code of Conduct regarding cell phones which can be found on pages 67 and 68 of the Code of Conduct. At Hofius, we ask that cell phone remained turned off during class time. Students may use their phones when granted permission by the teacher for instructional purposes only. Students may not take pictures of other students or participate in the making of social media videos such as Tik Tok, Snap Chat, etc. as this causes a distraction. If the student is inappropriately using a cell phone or has their cell phone out in class without permission, the teacher may take the cell phone up and turn it in to the grade level Assistant Principal for the student to retrieve at the end of the day. If this happens more than once, the Assistant Principal will notify the parent to pick up the phone and the student will receive a discipline referral.
- Dress Code (pg 67) Please review this with your student. We will be doing dress code checks during 1st period each day. Students out of compliance will be sent to the grade level office to correct the problem. If the problem can not be corrected, a parent may be called to bring other clothes. After the first warning, students will be assigned lunch detention. Our biggest infractions are hoodies being worn in the building, shorts that are too short for school (use the fingertip rule as a good guide- shorts should be long enough and shorter than the students fingertips when arms are placed down by their side), and tank tops (midriff must be covered at all times, straps must be three fingers wide), pants must not be excessively baggy.
Tips for monitoring your child's cell phone usage: go to settings, click on Screen Time, turn on screen time and monitor your child's screen time. Helpful Resources
Again, we appreciate your assistance and talking with your child about cell phones and dress code as we finish out the last 8 weeks of school.
