[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a son coming in as a junior this Fall. We are coming from another school district in a different state. Can anyone tell me how the MCPS high schools handle lunch and free periods? Can kids go off campus at lunch? Are there free periods to do some of their homework during the instructional day? Are there study halls and are they mandatory for upper classmen? Also, what's the policy and/or practice on cell phones and laptops? Can kids have them during the day or do they need to stay in lockers?

Thanks in advance! My son has lots of questions and anything I can answer for him in advance is helpful.[/quote]

Sorry I missed the rest of your question.  There are no study halls built into the instructional day.  There are seven periods and juniors would be enrolled in all seven periods.  Cell phones are allowed on campus but the rule (widely ignored) is that a student may not use them except at lunch.  Laptops can be brought to school but be careful.  Make sure that the laptop is inscribed with the owners name and parents drivers license number.  Not directed at WJ but security will tell you that its a pain since electronic devices are frequently stolen.

If your son has a lot of questions (I know I would) I'd tell him to "friend" a few WJ kids on Facebook and then they can email each other back and forth.[/quote]
