Rules re. Cell Phone Use in Class
Consistent with public schools in the area, we ask that the students put their cell phones in a basket at the beginning of class. They may use it during break and must return it to the basket when the break is over . If students do not want to leave their phone in the basket, it needs to stay in their bag for the duration of class. We will start to implement this rule on Sept 29, 2024.
If a student uses a cell phone during class, it becomes a distraction to the rest of class and the teacher. The teacher may take it away and put it in the basket. Please let your child(ren) know and let’s keep PCLS a cell phone-free learning environment.
