Glennallen School Says Cell Phone Use Is Out Of Control; Students Can Be Suspended For Violations

Don't Text While Driving – 

Or While You're In Math Class 

NOTE FROM GLENNALLEN HIGH 

Parents we need your help!!! Faculty and Staff at Glennallen High School have observed a mass influx of cell phone use during academic instruction. The goal at GHS is to ensure that all students are receiving the best education possible and help students develop healthy practices that will aide in their success in the workplace post high school.

 

Cell phones and other electronic devices may be used by High School students before school, during lunch, between periods, and after school. Mobile devices may not be used or visible during instructional periods unless allowed by the teacher for academic purposes. Individual schools reserve the right to further restrict the use and possession of cellular phones on school grounds (BP5144.1).

 

According to the Student Handbook: Students who refuse to relinquish their phone, could receive ISS or OSS depending on the severity of the situation. It would be terrible for our students to succumb to disciplinary actions as a result of expressing defiant behavior after using their cell phone during unapproved times. 

Staff at GHS have made students aware and hope that parents will talk to their kids about appropriate cell phone use/times. We are all in this together!! GHS thanks you for doing your part as parents to make students aware of protocol. –JANUARY 11, 2022
