Forcey Christian School. Not sure if it counts on here lol.
Phones have to be in lockers all day including lunch. If child is caught with phone it’s taken to office and parent has to go in and physically pick it up. It’s enforced.

Not often. In any case, all of the phones will get you in trouble, so what's your point? Or is it that the rules don't apply to kids who have multiple phones because they're so special?

I have a rising 5th grader and will soon be looking at schools for next year and given my older child's experience of middle school i would LOVE to have a phone-free middle school this time around.


Edmund Burke requires them to be turned into the division head's office each morning.


They’re in a lock box and have been for years. Funny how other schools are just now catching up


Funny how no one ever follows anything Edmund Burke does or even know it exists.


Are you 12?

But our personal experience - Congressional and SSSAS do.

Are you sure SSSAS is strict about it? When my dd (at a different private) turns her phone on at the end of the day, she always has tons of messages from Saints girls on her club sports team


Yes, about the phones. But the kids can get their messages on their computers, so as others have pointed out, stopping the phones doesn’t stop the social usage.


They don't need computers in the classroom unless they have a note taking accommodation.
