Summary of Cell Phone Status

Cell Phone Policy was adopted in the summer of 2022 which stated that students would not be able to possess their cell phones on campus. (See page 2 of the slide show for the old policy)

The Cell Phone Policy was amended and placed into effect on August 22nd, 2022, which states that students can have their cell phones on campus. (See page 3 of the slide show for the amended policy)

The newly adopted Cell Phone Policy requires all students and parent/guardians to complete the Cell Phone Agreement Form. A hyperlink to this form is located on page 4 of this slideshow, and directly below, as well.
