As students of St. Mary’s Springs Academy you are permitted to carry your cell phone all day long, and use them if needed at appropriate times. Cell phone use is permitted during passing time and during the homeroom/lunch period. During class periods all cell phones must be put away and out of sight. During classes, students may only use their phones if permitted or directed to do so for educational purposes by the classroom teacher. Students do not have a “right” to use their cell phones during instructional time. If there is an extenuating circumstance and you, as a student, feel you need to use your phone, please ask your teacher for permission prior to using your phone. Students are also reminded that state law prohibits the use of cell phones and other image recording devices in locker rooms and restrooms, except in emergency situations.
