Cell Phones - LPS Expectations for High School students

During class time, personal devices (including cell phones, earbuds, and headphones) must be stored in a student's backpack or in a designated classroom space. Students may only use personal devices when explicitly invited to do so by their teacher.

The Importance of Student Engagement During Instructional Time

Student engagement is a vital component of academic success. When students are actively participating in lessons, they are better able to develop understanding, strengthen critical thinking, and apply their learning in meaningful ways.

The use of cell phones and other personal devices during instructional time can significantly disrupt this process. These distractions not only interfere with a student’s own ability to remain focused but also impact the overall learning environment for their peers.

By remaining attentive and engaged in classroom activities, students demonstrate respect for their education, their teachers, and their classmates, while also maximizing their opportunity for success. Your support in communicating this message to our students is greatly appreciated.
