Back to School Basics: Post #1 – Cell Phone Policy Update
We’re kicking off our Back to School Basics series with an important update about personal electronic devices. 📵
Oklahoma law now prohibits student cell phone use from bell to bell during the school day. While this isn’t a big change for us — Hartshorne already had a policy in place — it will now be enforced as state law. That means all personal electronic devices (including phones, earbuds, smartwatches, etc.) must be off and put away during the school day.
✅ Devices may be used before school and after school only.
🚫 Devices used during the school day will be confiscated and subject to school consequences.
Let’s work together to keep our students focused and distraction-free!
Look for another post in our series in a day or two! 📚

Water will be available all four days, but students are welcome to bring their own. Energy drinks and sodas are highly discouraged. Any Gatorades or similar drinks will be on your own if desired.

These rehearsals are required - please plan on attending all four days for the benefit of the band, as well as for the individual. Students who miss summer band rehearsals will be responsible for catching up on what they have missed once school starts.
