New No Cell Phone ~ Bell to Bell Policy
As you know cell phones are a huge distraction to students, and the notifications they get during learning are a big obstacle to their learning and the learning of others.
Please visit with your student about this policy so they understand that it is a big change for the school year that will directly benefit them as learners.
