Cell phones have become an important way for parents to keep in touch with their children to assure their safety. Parents are encouraged to not all their children to bring a cell phone to school. In case of an emergency, cancelation of after school activity, or to schedule pick up, students are required to use the phone in the school office. However, if you choose to allow your child to bring a cell phone or other device to school, the following rules will apply:
- A cell phone permission slip must be signed and on file in the school office.
- The cell phone must remain off and in the school office during school hours:
- 7:15am-3:15pm
- during any before or after school activities including camp
- Any use of a cell phone during school hours will result in immediate confiscation of the phone.
- IPODS, MP3 players, CD players and other electronic devices will not be allowed in school or on school grounds. Possession and use of these devices during school hours will result in confiscation.
- Inappropriate or repeated violations of these guidlines will result in further disciplinary actions.
Mary Queen of Saints is not responsible for the loss or damage of any phone or electronic equipment.
