Cell phone/Text Messaging use during class periods and in between classes is prohibited. Students will be allowed to use their cell phones before and after school, and during 5 th period in the All Purpose Room. Students who violate this policy may have their cell phone confiscated to be returned at the end of the school day. If a student refuses to give their phone to any staff member, they will receive 1 day of in-school suspension and have their phone confiscated for a day. If there is a second offense, the parents will be notified and the student will have their phone confiscated for 3 days…
