Cell Phones in Schools

On today’s episode of Let’s Learn Together, Superintendent Jeff Simons has a conversation about cell phones in schools with Goff Middle School Interim Principal Jim McHugh, Goff School Counselor Jaclyn Gleason and a parent of two students Nichole Krisanda.

They discuss the Goff Cell Phone Policy which restricts the use of phones during the school day, why it was implemented last year, and the positive impact that has resulted. They also talk about the potential for future discussions of cell phones at the high school.

Also, Columbia students tell us what they are looking forward to in the upcoming school year, our staff profile features Senior Bus Driver Carianne Rudolph, and Questar Early Childhood Principal Mike Burns provides some tips to our parents and caregivers of incoming pre-k students.
