LETS GO STEELERS!!!

Cell Phone Use

Many middle school students were disciplined today for having their cell phones on at school and/or text messaging during class. Use of cell phones is a violation of district policy and is a distraction to the educational process. The discipline for continued infractions will be progressive and involve more severe consequences. Parents are encouraged to speak with their children about district policy. Any questions can be addressed by contacting me at 724-785-5800 ext. 2398.
