The purpose of the green sheet is to make you aware of any “signs” during the week. This needs to be signed and returned. Cell phone policy: Phones must be stored in lockers, and turned off (unless a teacher gives the okay to use it in class). If phone is taken up by a teacher, there is a $15 fee when parent retrieves it from the Assistant Principal.
