Cell Phone & Electronics Policy

For the 2025-2026 school year, students will ONLY be permitted to use their cellular devices before and after school.

Students can use their cell phone/smart watch upon arrival in the morning until the bell rings to start first period at 7:36 a.m. Students will then be required to turn-off their cell phone and put them away until the end of the school day.

If a student needs to get ahold of a parent or guardian, they can ask to use the school phone during appropriate times (passing period, lunch, etc.).

If a parent or guardian needs to get a message to their student, please call the Main Office at 253-571-5200 and someone will either deliver the message or connect them with their student. Please note that you must be listed on the student’s contact list to give messages or speak to any student.
