  • Student Cell Phone Policy

  • The use of electronic devices of any kind is disruptive to the spirit of learning and prayer that takes place when children and catechists gather to grow in their faith.

    However, cell phones may be brought to Parish Religious Education/ Formation classes under the following conditions:

    1. Phones MUST be turned off for the entire duration of any and all activities including, but not limited to: classroom instruction, church visitation, prayer experiences, liturgies, etc.  Cell phones MUST be kept out of sight upon entering the building and until the student has exited the building.
    2. If a parent needs to contact his/her child(ren) regarding a late pick-up or other issue, please call the Parish Office for Religious Education/Formation, and we will relay the message directly to your child(ren) and their catechist(s). In this way, we can monitor their safety until the child(ren) are picked up.
    3. No cell phones may be used for picture taking.
    4. No harassment or threatening of persons via cell phones is permitted.
    5. Cell phones may not be used to play games, for internet/email access, for conversations, music, gambling or making purchases of any kind.
