Cell Phones:
Use of student cell phones will be regularly incorporated into classroom instruction. Students without a cell phone to use during class will be able to participate in cell phone activities by working with a partner who does have a cell phone or by using the classroom cell phone. The school-wide policy that prohibits cell phones from being used in class is still in effect at GLHS; however, students will be allowed to have these devices out and use them in certain specific ways in my classroom, pending parent permission. They must also abide by the rules below.
