Cell Phone Policy
In line with the Acceptable Use Policy of SFUSD, students will be asked to turn off cell phones and store them in their backpacks the moment the school bell rings (9:27 am) until they leave campus for the day. Teachers may opt to allow the use of phones for instructional purposes only within their classroom. Students are not to use cell phones during passing period, free time or as a reward. If you need to get in touch with your child please call the office.
Office Phone Policy
The phone in the office is available for students to use to call home ONLY in case of an emergency.
Emergencies include: A child is sick or injured and needs to be picked up to go home, seek medical attention etc.
Other calls, such as needing a lunch brought to school, issues regarding field trips and information that needs to be communicated to students regarding pick up needs to be done using the classroom phone only. Need to get a message to your child? Please call the office and we will be sure the message is communicated to their teacher. Please make sure students know their dismissal instructions everyday.
