You need to see this if you're having trouble getting your kids to focus in school.
Let's say goodbye to distractions in the classroom! Research shows that unrestricted use of cell phones in classrooms is a huge distraction. At Wildwood, we are dedicated to promoting academic focus and a cohesive school environment. Here's the plan: each student will receive a pouch for their phone. In the morning, they will place their phone in the pouch, lock it in front of school staff, and keep it in their backpack. At the end of the day, they unlock the pouch, grab their phone, and keep the pouch in their backpack. Simple! Why are we doing this? Limiting access to cell phones leads to better academic performance and better retention of information. Plus, it lowers the risk of theft and minimizes interruptions. And let's be honest, it ensures fairness and equity among students. Now, some rules: if a student damages their pouch or uses their
phone during school hours, the Administration will take action. Consequences include detention, in-school suspension, and a fifty dollar replacement fee. Forgot your pouch? No worries. We'll hold on to your phone and give it back to you at dismissal. Parents, your support is crucial. Let's raise the bar and bring our students' focus back to what truly matters.
Thank you for partnering with us on this important initiative!
