Cell Phone Policy & Guidelines

Phones are not to be used during school. Each student will be assigned a personal Yondr Bag. While the Yondr Bag is considered school property, each student will be responsible for and must bring their Yondr Bag to school daily and keep it in good working condition. Upon bringing a cell phone into the building, each student will place all such devices into their Yonder Bag, secure/lock, and present their Yonder Bag for inspection during the daily safety and security entry check-in. Students without Yondr bag will have cell phone put in an envelope and secured in the main office.
