 * Students may:**

Students who need to use the phone during the school day must have their teacher’s permission.

After school at 3:15 students may use the phone in After School Care to contact a parent or ride who is running late.


 * Students may not:**

Students may not use the office phone to arrange play dates or get permission to go to a friend’s house.

These arrangements should be made the night before directly with the families involved.

Students should not use cell phones on campus.

For emergencies students have access to a phone through the office or after school care from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm.

Students who do bring cell phones to school must:

• Turn the phone in at the beginning of the day to their teacher.

• Keep it turned off during the school day.

• Students who do not follow these guidelines will have the phones confiscated and only a parent or guardian can retrieve the phone from the school office.


 * Parents:**

• In the case of an urgent matter or emergency you may call the school office to have a message relayed to your child.

• Efforts should be made, however to settle affairs before the child leaves for school in the morning.

• Please do not call to ask another child to bring homework or books to your child.

• Telephone that child at home and arrange personally with him/her to bring your child’s books/ assignments the next day.
