Principal’s Report: Mrs. Hunter—
·         Standards-Based Grading—discuss next meeting
·         Expressed appreciation to board for all their hard work and making her transition easier
·         Cell phone policy—ideas and suggestions:
o   Follow the Jordan School District Policy and be consistent with every staff member
o   Since we are a one-to-one tech school; shouldn’t need to use phones in class
o   If the phone is out in the classroom, teacher may confiscate
o   All teachers on the same page…
o   When kids get in trouble, they lose their phone
o   May bring phone to school, but keep it in the locker or the backpack
o   Parents are part of the problem—they text their children during school
o   Parents are part of the problem—they expect to contact child during school
o   Parents are part of the problem—they get angry when their child’s phone is confiscated
o   Blockers to make cell phones not function in the school
o   No ear buds or phones in the classroom
o   Charging stations in the classrooms where kids can plug in their phone and not use it
o   Shoe organizers for phones—each student has a numbered box
o   A parent mentioned that at RHS one teacher gives extra credit for a phone in the caddy
o   Cell phone policy sent out in a Skylert message
o   Consistent consequences for cell phone abuse
o   A “Summer Welcome Message’ to incoming parents and students
o   Everyone on board or the policy is meaningless.
o   Phones can be used before and after school and during lunch
