If a cell phone and/or earbuds/airpods are brought to school, the phone must be in airplane mode or turned off and both the phone and earbuds/airpods must be placed in a backpack or classroom phone caddy during class time. Cell phones must not be heard or visible to teachers at any time during class (bell to bell).
Students observed using their cell phone during class will be invited by the teacher to place it in a classroom phone caddy for the duration of that class period. Those that comply with the teacher’s request will be able to leave class with their phone, and there will be no further consequences.
All MVHS teachers are directed to refer students that choose not to place their phone in a classroom phone caddy to administration. Upon meeting with administration, students will be required to leave their phone in the front office for the remainder of the school day. They may pick up their phone after school, but will then be required to leave their phone in the front office during school hours the following day.
