Cellphones and newsletter

As good as our modern communication developments are, there is a down-side to the possession and use of cell phones. In a learning environment they are a distraction in class. Furthermore they become a target for criminals. Cell phones which are stolen or lost cause a huge amount of work and we cannot spend valuable time following up missing cell phones.
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CELL PHONE AT HOME.
If a student is seen using one in class or around the school it will be confiscated. If a cell phone is confiscated more than once a parent will be asked to come and collect it. Students who bring a phone to school do so at their own risk. We ask parents to support us in this and ensure that cell phones are left at home.

The latest newsletter has been posted on the school website for viewing at http://www.stratfordhigh.school.nz/WebSpace/358/

P H Keenan, Principal.
