"Phones should be in backpacks during direct instruction, group activities and tests. If there is independent work time, students may listen to music. They cannot be scrolling on their phones, watching shows, etc, only [putting] on music."

- Julie Bates, World Language

"I give the option to put it in the basket at their desk or leave it in their backpack. The expectation is that phones are not used during direct instruction, while I am teaching or while students are engaged in a signing activity in ASL."

- Carrie Guenzler-Heaney, Social Studies

"Student must put their phone in their designated space of the phone file for: 1) Assessments 2) Videos longer than 10 min 3) Guest speakers 4) Entire AcLab mods *when requested by the teacher*"

- Frank Consolino, Science

"I only collect phones on test days. I think it is important the kids learn responsible phone use since they will always have them with them and many jobs require phone use for communication. Phones are also a great resource since they have calculators and internet. When used correctly phones can be a great resource in the classroom. "

- Matt Zahradka, AFJROTC

"Students are treated as responsible adults. If they decide not to follow instructions, then they are required to put their phones away. After the first reminder, if they do not do so, then [phones] are collected for the [rest] of class. Continued inability to follow instructions will result in a no phone zone for the [rest] of the semester."

- Jodie Fowler, Industrial Tech

"We use our phones for all submissions through Canvas. Without our phones, scanners for documenting projects would be needed for every two computers. Nope. CRAZY!"

- Vincent DeBlasi, Social Studies

"I hate to admit it but my students have been doing so much better since I have instituted this policy."

- Anonymous LHS Teacher

"Please do not quote me, but I really wish we had a school wide policy on phones. It needs to be consistent as there are too many students who do not use them responsibly and it can't be only me that is teaching them that. I have a curriculum to cover and so many more needs to address."
