Cell Phones & Digital Technology Expectations at Monterey

 Research is clear that digital devices cause significant distraction and erode learning.

As a result of this, our students are expected to put their phones in their lockers during the entire school day. If they are seen with their phones, without specific permission from a staff member, the phone will be confiscated and parents will be called to collect it.

We are fortunate to have sufficient, appropriate technology for our students to use. Any device necessary for learning will be given to your child by the school. In addition to this, we have phones in the office that students are welcome to use to receive or make a call.

The parents at Monterey have been very supportive of this policy, so we thank you in advance for your ongoing support.
