In 2021-2022 school year, San Mateo became a cell phone free learning environment. Our goal is to improve the climate and culture in our classrooms and on campus by eliminating cell phone distractions during instructional time. Students keep their cell phones in pouches during the school day. Any student who does not own a cell phone must have a “No Phone Pass” verified by parent/guardian. Students place their cell phone in the pouch at the start of each school day and are able to access their phone after their last class has ended. Smartwatches that have the ability to connect to cell service must also be placed in pouches at the start of the school day. Students must be in possession of their pouch at all times during the school day, even if they do not bring their phones to school.
Airpods (wireless earbuds) should be used only to listen to music. Airpods can be used at the discretion of the teacher while in class. Outside of class, students must follow the “one in, one out” rule for safety purposes.
