IHE Cell Phone Policy Reminder
What is the cell phone policy for IHE students?
Students are not permitted to possess a cell phone for any reason during the school day. If students bring a phone for after-school activities, they must immediately turn it into their classroom teacher or store it in their backpack. They may retrieve their phone at the end of each day. Any student caught violating this policy will have their cell phone confiscated.
First Violation: The cell phone will be confiscated and given back only when the parent comes by to pick it up.
Multiple Violations: Forfeiture of the cell phone until the end of the last day of the quarter.
Phone Use by Students
Students are permitted to use the phone in the main office in an emergency (student is sick or hurt) or given permission in writing by a teacher. All arrangements for after-school activities should be made before coming to school in the morning.
If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher or a building administrator.
Thank you for your cooperation.
