      **Cell phones are NOT permitted during the school day.  Students must keep their phones OFF and AWAY during the day.   Students in grades 7 and 8 should have locks for their lockers, in order to keep their phone secured.  Everyone has the opportunity to turn their phone in each morning to their teacher, administration, or the Main Office.   If violations continue, a parent/guardian will be required to pick up the phone.
