Cell Phone Policy 2024
October 2024
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The New York City Department of Education’s cell phone ban has been lifted as of March 2, 2015. A new regulation, Chancellor’s Regulation A-413, will govern the use of cell phones, computing devices and portable music and entertainment systems on school property.
Each principal must establish a written school-based policy regarding the use of cell phones, computing devices and portable music and entertainment systems on school property that is consistent with regulation A-413, and must consult with the School Leadership Team.
Please know that our School Leadership Team has met and the attached plan has been established. Please read it carefully and discuss it with your child. The school will be instructing staff and students on the policy to ensure it is followed consistently.
Although we do not foresee any problems arising from this proposed change, it is extremely important for the entire school community to understand that the possession of cell phones, computing devices and portable music and entertainment systems is the sole responsibility of the student possessing them. Cell phones, computing devices and portable music and entertainment systems and the rules and regulations used to govern their possession and use must not become a distraction or hindrance to classroom instruction and the educational process.
Please read and discuss the attached school cell phone policy and student and parent contracts with your child.
Thank you for your continued support as we help students stay focused throughout their educational journey.
Sincerely,
Mr. Martuccio
Principal
