Dear
Parents/Guardians,
We
know that it is very important for your child to be able to contact you especially
if he/she walks to school or in the event of an emergency. As a result, P.S. 108Q has instituted the
following guidelines for students who have permission from their parents to
bring their cell phones to school or other electronic devices to school.
- Cell phones/electronic devices may not
be turned on or used while on school property which includes:
- During Instructional time (including
tests, quizzes, etc)
- In the lunchroom
- In the bathroom
- During Afterschool programs
- During fire drills and other
emergency preparedness exercises
- Cell phones/electronic devices should
be turned off and stored in students’ backpacks while they are in the
school building.
- Students must understand it is their
responsibility to take care of their cell phones or other electronic
devices. P.S. 108Q is not
responsible for lost or damaged cell phones/electronic devices.
- If students do not adhere to the above
policies, cell phones/devices may be confiscated by staff members, held in
the main office and parents will be contacted to pick up the phone.
Please
take the time to discuss this information with your child and if you have any
questions, please contact us. We
appreciate your cooperation with this matter.
Thank
you,
J.
