Cell Phone Policy Form

We understand that some families choose to send students to school with a personal cellphone. To ensure learning remains the focus and to prevent loss or misuse, Cheltenham has a process in place:

  • Phones must be turned in to the teacher each morning and will be returned at dismissal.

  • Phones may not be used during school hours.

  • The school is not responsible for lost or stolen devices.

For full details and to acknowledge the policy, please review and complete the form below:
