Cell Phone Free Day

Hello, this is Principal Gregory Hooker with an important message for families. We would like to inform you that our local school leadership has met, and a decision was made on the selection of utilizing portable storage lockers to implement the cell phone-free day policy at our school. Students will be required to follow this policy and store their turned off cell phones during the school day. The purpose of this will be to increase student focus in instruction and engagement with one another as the excessive use of cell phones can impact students' mental health and academic performance. If you have any questions, please contact the main office at 323 373-2700.
