Reminder... DHS Cell Phone Policy
As the new school year is now underway, just a reminder about the Dickinson High School student cell phone policy. Students must keep cell phones off and put away during school hours of 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. If a teacher or administrator sees a cell phone out during that time or hears one ring, the phone will be taken up. In the event a phone is taken up, a parent, guardian or other responsible adult must come to the school front office between 2-4 p.m. on Thursdays only to pay the $15 return fee and pick up the phone. Please stress to your student the importance of abiding by the cell phone policy. |
