At North Schuylkill Jr./Sr. High School, we pride ourselves on providing our students with a high-quality education that is second to none in Schuylkill County. Our administration and faculty consistently reflect on best practices in education and look to implement strategies to promote growth and remove roadblocks to student achievement. Four years ago, when the district decided to invest further in our students by purchasing each child a Chromebook, we also began to reflect on the use of cell phones as an academic tool. Based on research, discussion as an administrative team, and input collected from our faculty, we plan to place restrictions on the use of cell phones during school hours. We are now seeking input from the North Schuylkill community. A meeting with stakeholders is scheduled for Monday, July 31, at 6 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Parents/guardians and students are encouraged to attend as the high school administration will present the revised cell phone procedures and listen to stakeholder feedback. Links to a memorandum outlining the new procedures and a parent/guardian letter about the new procedures can be found below.
