P.S. 127 The McKinley Park School

P.S. 127’s Personal Cellphone and Electronic Devices Policy: Chancellor’s Regulation A-413 permits students to bring cell phones and other electronic personal smart devices to school. All schools must implement the new policies contained in the Regulation. Guidance and Frequently Asked Questions have been developed to assist schools in this process.  A school-based policy for the use of cell phones and electronic items has been established and will be distributed to all students. The P.S. 127 Cell Phone Policy is “off and away”. Please note the following:

• All cell phones that enter the school building must be turned off and must stay off throughout the duration of the school day.
• Cell phones must remain in a student’s schoolbag for the entire school day.  At no point during the school day is a cell phone to be removed from a school bag. Cell phone policy memo to families
