Personal Mobile Device (PMD) MSS/CBE Policy
We are starting to see an increase in students having PMDs in all areas of the school during instructional hours. Students are only allowed access to their PMDs outside during the lunch period. PMDs are to be stored in a student's locker during all other times between 8:30am - 3:20pm.
The first six (6) weeks of the school year have been significantly different (positive, less distractions, less issues) without PMDs in learning spaces. We want and need to continue this trend. Please have a conversation with your child(ren) about PMDs not being in learning spaces. Teachers reviewed our PMD policy with students this past Friday during our homeroom Marshall Time weekly session.
