Cell phones are a common tool for parents and guardians to coordinate after-school activities, schedules, and transportation issues with their students. In the classroom, cell phones are a distraction, taking away from the educational process by decreasing classroom engagement, hindering student communication, negatively impacting school culture, and limiting student success. To promote the best possible learning and social environment in Murray High School, students will not be allowed to use their phones, AirPods, headphones, smartwatches, or any other personal electronic device during instructional hours (MCSD Policy 417.2). Each classroom will have a set of zipper storage pouches that every student will be expected to utilize.
