Friendly Hills Cell Phone Procedures

Friendly Hills Middle School does not allow the use of cell phones during the school day (8:45 a.m. - 3:20 p.m.). Students should leave their cell phones in their lockers on silent mode, or at home. Below are the procedures that will be used by Friendly Hills staff if a student has their cell phone out during the academic school day:

1st time  - The student will be asked to turn the phone into the main office. 

2nd time  - The student will be asked to bring the phone to the office and pick it up after school, and a parent will be called by the school administration.

3rd time - The student will be asked to bring the phone to the office, a parent will be called by school administration, and the phone will remain in the office for the remainder of the school day. A parent meeting will be held with the school principal.

4th time - The student will drop off the phone in the office before school, and pick up the phone after school.

All phones will be kept in a secured location if they are collected by a school administrator.

- Students will not be allowed to use their cell phones during the school day unless there is an emergency situation in which they need to have the phone on, and a parent has spoken to the school principal.

- Parents can contact their student(s) by calling the school’s main office at 651-403-7600. Office administrative assistants will connect the student via the school’s phone system.

- Students can contact parents by using a phone located in the main office.
