Cell Phone Policy


Dear Parents and Guardians,
Students in my class will be allowed to use their cell phones in class for instructional purposes on days cell phone use is incorporated into the lesson. Students that have cell phones will be able to use the following features as needed for the lessons:
v Calculator
v Stopwatch
v Camera/video
v Text messaging (if available)
v Internet access for research purposes
Acceptable use of cell phones during class is expected on the occasions the lesson calls for its use. My Classroom Cell Phone Acceptable Use Policy is attached.
I am looking forward to doing some exciting activities using the cell phone in class that will enhance student learning. Students who do not have cell phones or are unable to use them in class will not be penalized. Please do not hesitate to contact me (ewilliams@hbuhsd.edu) if you have any questions about this policy.

Sincerely,
Erika Williams
