There is a new technology policy for students at the Warm Springs K-8 Academy.  Students learn and grow when they are fully present and actively engaged in class, and they can’t do this if they are always drawn to their phones.   Cell phones, personal devices,  ear buds, and hand-held videogames need to be off and put away during class time. If a student violates this policy, they are asked to bring their devices to the Main Office for the remainder of the day and can be picked up at the end of the school day.
