📚📱 IMPORTANT UPDATE for @wh_secondary families!
Starting this school year, we're implementing Governor Hochul's Bell-to-Bell Cell Phone Ban to create a more focused learning environment for our students.
🎯 What This Means:
Week 1: Staff will collect phones/smartwatches at main entrance (returned at dismissal)
After Week 1: Students store phones in lockers ALL DAY (including lunch & passing periods)
Research shows this reduces distractions and improves focus & collaboration
📋 Progressive Consequences for Visible Phones: 1st offense: Phone confiscated + warning 2nd offense: Parent pickup required + detention
3rd offense: Parent pickup required + in-school suspension 4th offense: Daily office check-in/out for remainder of year
💬 Need to reach your child? Call our Main Office at 516-390-3214
We're committed to helping students develop positive decision-making skills and strengthen their focus on learning. Thank you for supporting this policy at home by reminding your child to secure their phone in their locker each morning.
Together, we're creating an environment where students can thrive! 🌟

🎨 Exciting progress on our new art gallery! Beautiful wood floors & stunning glass walls are installed. So grateful to former State Senator Thomas for securing funding that made this vision a reality. Can't wait to showcase our artists! #WHeRiseTogether

Here's the deal: we get it – your phones, tablets, and smartwatches are basically extensions of your personality. But here's what's even cooler: your school district has invested in building the fastest K-12 network in New York with mind-blowing 40 Gigabit speeds and cutting-edge wireless technology that makes your home WiFi look like dial-up! While personal devices can pull you into endless scrolling sessions that mess with your focus, grades, and even your mental health (not to mention cause chaos during emergencies), your school has created an amazing digital ecosystem designed specifically for your success. Through tools like Classlink, you'll have instant access to everything you need to crush your academic goals, while parents stay in the loop through PowerSchool and our lightning-fast communication systems. Think of it as trading the distraction trap of social media during school hours for a premium learning experience powered by some seriously impressive tech – because when you're connected to the right network, there's no limit to what you can achieve!
