·         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
