Is calling 0 the main office or a seperate hotline to a security person/people? I advocate for the latter as the main office has a lot of other things to deal with. And there should be a dedicated person/people to deal with these issues.

Needs to have working phones in every room. Including the gyms and auditorium.

What will be the turn around time or assurance of dealing with a student taking it out. It’s often very hard to get an admin or security to classroom when calling office. What messages are being sent to parents because they are often calling/texting kids during school day. I also agree with moving homeroom to first block. We also need an organized procedures for students leaving school. Right now most walk out front door without question. If they have a locked phone or taken phone it’s going to add more office traffic

I am hoping that teachers stay strong and consistent. We have put so much into learning cell phone and technology teaching strategies due to the Covid pandemic, some of us will need to rethink our approach to daily teaching. And that is a good thing, but Padlets and Kahoots might need to be given back to sticky notes and writing on the board. Hopefully our PD will support that shift for us.

Consistency is needed with staff.

What happens if security or an SIS or AP is not available to get the phone?

Are there thoughts of moving Homeroom before first block those first few weeks?

What about the students that state that they will hide a "secret" phone in either their pockets or in their backpacks?

This will be very helpful. What do we do with the hall pass “securely”. Are we going back to paper passes?

I am looking forward to this policy. I do have one concern regarding substitute teachers and para educators using phones during class, perhaps even including some teachers. Adults need to model in classrooms. Thank you.

Are we ready for the New Haven Independent articles titled “X number of students suspended in the first 30 days of school for refusing to give up their cell phones”?

What about the teachers? We should be a great example for our students and demonstrate them that we can live without phones too.

I wonder if switching HR to the beginning of the day for the first month would help with the morning issue, that way 1A and 5B are not impacted too badly

I am looking very forward to it!

Will we be moving homeroom to the beginning of the day instead of after 1st period to help with lateness to first period?

I am 100% on putting cell phones away. Especially that students lately are using them to either record teachers without their knowledge or even their fellow students at a fight.

Looking forward to it! I have to be accountable for my own instruction, so I can teach more student to student interaction.

What do we do with larger headphones?
