Setting up MyStudyLife.Com A Guide for Students and Teachers

The Rules of Mobile Phone use Although we are moving to an E-Planner system it is also useful to note the rules the school has on using mobile phones in schools. The school policy is as follows: This means, When homework is given out you are allowed your phone out, but NOT all the time(unless guided by your teacher) Failure to abide by the rules can mean confiscation YOU CANNOT USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO CHECK FACEBOOK! “Mobile phones are allowed in school…..Mobile phones may be used in lessons as an integral part of the learning, however this is at the discretion of the teachers and in all other circumstances mobile phones should be switched off so as not to cause disruption to lessons.”
