[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DHMS is lunch detention. It's not tracked and you don't get a notice as a parent. It's pretty useless as to changing your student's behavior at home, unless your student tells you they had it and what it was truthfully for.

My student at DHMS was allowed to access and use his phone throughout the day yesterday. By his teachers. Other kids confirmed this. So not sure that whole away all day thing is an actual thing?

Most of the students don't yet have access to lockers. So they aren't storing their phones there.

We took his phone this morning and he just won't have it. Makes after school more difficult but without help at school to follow the rule, not sure what else a parent can do.[/quote]

You should email Ms E Smith. She’s really wonderful and receptive.   When my first went through DHMS, they were really strict about the phone policy.  Last year, it got lax and they had a whole thing with the students at the end of the year about how this year will be different.  I’m surprised to hear that it’s not being enforced.  Fwiw, they just got lockers so perhaps that will help?  I fully support the no phones and so does Ms Smith so I think either backing of the parents we can collectively work to insist that the policy be as it always was and be enforced. [/quote]
