Cell Phone Policy

Please understand that the purpose of our cell phone use policy is to ensure the safety and security of students and provide a school environment in which ALL students are able to focus on learning.

According to School District of Philadelphia policy, students are not authorized to use cell phones in school. The first time a student is caught using a cell phone or hand held device, the item will be taken and returned at the end of the school day. The second time a student is caught using a cell phone or hand held device, the parents will be called to meet with the principal or his/her designee, and the item will only be returned to the parent at that time. If there is a third time that the student is caught using one of these electronic devices, the item may be taken and not returned until the end of the school year.
