Just a friendly reminder on the school policy regarding the use of cell phones and other personal electronic devises. They are only permitted for educational purposes, when necessary to address health concerns, and can only be used when given permission from a teacher. These rules align with the mandates which have been established by the provincial government. If these rules are not followed, then as always, it is policy in our school that the electronic devise will be taken to the office where a parent will need to come and pick it up. I understand that these rules are harsh, but there are various reasons why we have these rules. If any students or parents have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know :)
