Indian Trail Junior High

We have taken time during the school day to teach the expectations for this new policy for the 2022-2023 school year. If you need help clarifying,  please do not hesitate to call the number(s) below. 

We are limiting communication throughout the day with student cell phones to allow for students to re-engage with peers, and staff to support executive functioning, and interpersonal skills. A large part of why we come to school is for this in-person socialization. We learn to work together, listen, speak up, question things publically, and to be collaborative. At school, we do these actions face-to-face. The Indian Trail Cell Phone Policy is as follows:

Indian Trail students are to keep cell phones turned off or silenced, and locked in their assigned lockers throughout the school day. Devices should not be in pockets, purses, pencil bags, etc. Offenses are as follows: 

First offense: Students will receive a warning, and will need to return their phone to their locker for the remainder of the day. 

Second Offense: Students will need to turn in their cell phone to the Dean’s office. The cell phone can be picked up by the student at the end of the school day.

Third Offense: Students will need to turn in their cell phone to the Dean’s office. Parent Contact will be made, and the cell phone can be picked up by a parent at the end of the school day with a signature, and contract reminder of expectations.

Fourth Offense: Students will need to turn in their cell phone to the Dean’s office. Students, Parents, and Dean will meet to discuss strategies for adhering to the cell phone policy with responsibility, and accountability.

In the event that you must contact your student, please communicate with the Main Office
