CELL PHONES
Cell phones are not necessary for elementary school. If phones are brought to school, they should not be seen or heard throughout the entire school day. Personal telephones are not to be used between school hours, i.e. between 8:50 a.m. – 3:40 p.m. Any cell phone that is used between 8:50 – 3:40 PM or rings during school hours will be confiscated and taken to the office. The cell phone will need to be picked up by the parent in person from the principal. We are not responsible for lost or stolen phones or other electronics. Social arrangements need to be made at home.
Theft or loss of such devices will not be investigated by school personnel. Students bring such devices at their own risk. Juarez will not be liable for any thefts. Please see the Cell Phone Policy. Read, sign, and return the affidavit to your child’s teacher.
Unauthorized use of these devices disrupts the instructional program and distracts from the learning environment. Repeated unauthorized use of such devices may lead to disciplinary action.
Students and parents are reminded that during an emergency, cellular sites may be overwhelmed due to a high volume of calls. Should this occur, emergency communication could also be affected. Cell phones and other devices must be used sparingly so that emergency services have priority to assist the students and staff on the site.
