Advisory

**Cell phones are not allowed without the teacher's permission, cell phones must be placed in the "parking lot" as they enter the class. They will pick their phones up after the bell as they are leaving class. Students’ phones will be picked up by the teacher and a consequence be assigned based on the High School’s Cell Phone Policy if they refuse to turn them into the designated area. If you need to reach your student in an emergency I ask that you please contact them by calling the office at 512-756-6193, and they will send a message to them in class or call their classroom. Please avoid calling/texting them during class, as this can lead to disruptions.

**Los teléfonos celulares no están permitidos sin el permiso del maestro, los teléfonos celulares deben colocarse en el cubo azul cuando ingresan a la clase. Recogerán sus teléfonos después de que suene la campana cuando salgan de clase. El maestro recogerá los teléfonos de los estudiantes y se les asignará una consecuencia según la Política de teléfonos celulares de la escuela secundaria si se niegan a entregarlos en el área designada. Si necesita comunicarse con su estudiante en una emergencia, le pido que se comunique con él llamando a la oficina al 512-756-6193 y le enviarán un mensaje en clase. Evite llamarlos o enviarles mensajes de texto durante la clase, ya que esto puede provocar interrupciones.
