Cell Phone Policy
Merlo Station Campus - Cell Phone Policy - Park It
Please remember we are going to be instituting a new cell phone policy on campus. All students must have cell phone parked during instructional times. Please follow the protocol below to support students navigating this change. Please note that it might take some reminders for students to follow through with this change. Our goal is to support students engaging in the learning and not a power struggle over a phone. Please remember that students should be reminded at least once a day to follow through with these expectations.
Please make sure your cell phone caddy is not stored next to the door. This will prevent students from walking out with it as they leave or walking off with someone else's phone. I'd recommend hanging the caddy by the front of the class / by your desk.
Please follow these steps:
- FIRST TIME - Reminder to PARK your phone/airbuds.
- SECOND TIME - Your phone will be stored securely in the main office.
- You will write your name and date.
- Pick up your phone at the end of the day.
- THIRD TIME - Your phone will be stored securely in the main office.
- Admin will contact your parents/guardians.
- Your parents/guardians need to pick up your phone/airbuds at the end of the day.
- FOURTH TIME or more - Your phone will be stored securely in the main office.
- A problem solving/accountability plan meeting with your parents/guardians will be scheduled.
