Hello Parents and Caregivers,
This is just a quick note to let you know of some exciting changes that are happening effective immediately after break.
As of Tuesday the 23rd THERE WILL BE NO PHONES ALLOWED IN THE CLASSROOM.
This means that students will need to keep their phones in their lockers. Students are welcome to use the phones at break time (not in the lunch hall), however they are not allowed to be in the classroom. There is a number of reasons for this, mainly safety of students and staff.
We believe as an untied staff that this will create a more welcoming environment in the class, as well as remove distractions that so often plague our students.
If phones are found in class they will be confiscated and given to the principal who will then keep it for the day. Parents will be required to pick up their child's phone at the end of the day.
We want to reiterate, that as a staff we are in complete agreement about this and that this action is best for your child.
Please ensure that your child has a lock for their locker so the phone is kept safely.
We thank you in advance for your support and look forward to a phone free spring!
Kind regards
Leighton and Carina
