CELLULAR AND OTHER HAND-HELD ELECTRONICS POLICY
Please be advised that as per Chancellor’s Regulations, students are not permitted to use or carry cellular telephones on school premises. While we are fully aware that many students own cellular phones, they cannot be visible (worn on the belt clip of pants, attached to a skirt or book bag) during the school day. If an emergency arises and a student needs to have access to a telephone, school phones are available with adult permission and supervision. In the case that you need to contact your child, please feel free to call the school number {718) 498-2491 and a message will be delivered to your child via his/her classroom teacher. PLEASE DO NOT TEXT YOUR CHILD DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.
We are looking for parental cooperation and support in the enforcement of this city and school wide policy. There were some incidents last school year, with students and the improper use of cell phones that has resulted in the strict enforcement of this regulation. Please be advised that any student, who fails to follow this regulation, will have his/her cell phone confiscated. Once confiscated, cellular phones will only be returned by administration and to the student’s parent or guardian. We are requesting that you have a conversation with your child so he/she understands the consequences that come as result of not following the city and school’s rules ad regulations.
Your cooperation, understanding and support in this matter is greatly appreciated.
NOTE: IS 392 is not responsible for the loss/theft of any unauthorized objects brought to school. (Cell phones, Ipods, PSP’s)
