Four Local Schools And Their Cell Phone Policies For Students
We’ve been checking in with different schools in the area, and here’s some of what we found out. For Hornell High School students in the fall, there are going to be some new rules. Here they are. No cell phone use between 8:05am and 3:03pm. No cell phone use while in the Hornell High cafeteria for lunch time. If a Hornell High student has a medical issue and has more of a need for a cell phone, a plan can be worked out between the school and the students family. High school students in Hornell won’t be able to carry phones around with them throughout the day, they’ll have to keep their cell phones in their locker. The same goes for earbuds and headphones – those are to be kept inside the student’s lockers. If a parent or guardian needs to contact an HHS student, then they should call the high school’s main office and the staff will get the student a message.
