Cell phones: MS 447 is a phone-free space to improve teaching and learning. We are committed to building an educational and social environment that optimizes our interactions, relationships, and community. As you may be aware, personal device-free schools is now NY State law! Students must turn their cell phones off and put them into their Yondr pouch (distributed during the first few days of school) as they enter school. They will not unlock their phones until they are dismissed from the building for the day. Please read about Yondr x 447 and our full cell phone policy below.
