Churchill advises parents on new cellphone policy rules
La Ronge’s Churchill Community High School is shedding light on how staff will implement the provincial government’s new restrictions on personal electronic devices (PED).
In a notice issued to parents and guardians on social media, it explains PEDs are not to be used by students during instructional time. During class time, they should remain off and stored away unless a teacher has specifically asked for them to be used for an exempted task.
In addition, PEDs should also only be used in public spaces or hallways before school starts, during breaks, lunch and after school.
“Keep your phones, tablets and other PEDs off and stored away during class time,” the directive states.
