Cell Phones
AFC focuses on increased rigor and post-secondary planning in the classroom. We have increased our diligence toward decreasing interruptions and distractions to the educational experience. To that end, the AFC Board of Education and administration approved a full cell phone/personal device ban. All students will be required to secure their cell phones/personal devices in their secure lockers or at home during the instructional day, from 8:15 am to 3:00 pm. Students found to be in possession of such devices will have the device confiscated and stored in the office, where a guardian will be required to pick it up. Smartwatches used within its primary purposes of time-telling are permitted. Smartwatches utilized as cell phones/personal devices will be confiscated. Guardians that are in need of sharing important notifications with their students, may contact the Jr/Sr High School office. We will ensure the message reaches your student during a time that does not interfere with the educational environment.
We appreciate guardians' partnership in articulating the high value we aim to place on each student’s educational path. Establishing a communication plan with your student and sharing the importance of adhering to these expectations is imperative.
