Personal Mobile Device (PMD) Policy

1. We will expect students to enter the classroom with their cell phones and personal electronic devices off and stored either in their bags or in their pockets. Continual reminder of this will result in a referral to the office and a parent meeting. Students will have to leave their cell phone in the office in these situations and/or another arrangement with the family.
2. Cell phones may be used in classrooms when permitted by the teacher.
