• Updated Cell Phone Policy Parent Letter - Effective Thursday 11/18 - 11/15/21

  Dear World View High School Families:

   

  Bronx Collaborative High School and Clinton High School have both adopted a policy of collecting the cell phones of all students upon entering the school.

   

  We presented our students the option of adopting the same policy of collecting all cell phones upon entry or allowing students who are in uniform and on time to be able to keep their cell phones. In addition, World View students will have the freedom of using their cell phone before school (7:50 AM - 9:00 AM) and/or during lunch (11:27 AM - 12:10 PM) as long as the following parameters are followed:

  1. Be on time and in uniform

  2. Turn cell phone to airplane mode and place out of sight (airpods included) for periods 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 & 9

  3. Cell phones should only be out before school and during period 5 in the cafeteria or in the lunch & learn classrooms (not in the hallways)

  4. Students are not permitted to take pictures or videos in the school building

  5. Students are not permitted to share their phone with classmates

   

  Based on the student survey, the overwhelming majority of students who voted (98%) voted to allow World View students in uniform to bring their cell phone into the building and use it before school and/or during lunch. Students approved the modification to the policy to turn in their phone at entry if they are not in uniform or late to school. If your child is in need of a school uniform, please speak to your child's guidance counselor so the school can support in helping your child get a uniform.

   

  This is not a replacement, but a student-approved modification to the current cell phone policy. Students who fail to follow these parameters will be issued infraction letters and will have the privilege of having their cell phone revoked.

   

  The updated cell phone policy will go into effect on Thursday, November 18th. 

   

  Kind Regards,

  Mr. Hernandez

• Potential Changes to WV Cell Phone Policy - 11/8/21

  Dear WVHS Students:

   

  It has been brought to our attention that Bronx Collaborative High School will be adopting DeWitt Clinton’s cell phone policy of collecting the cell phones of all students regardless of the time they arrive at school. This presents a challenge for School Safety as they will have to identify which students are not allowed and which students are allowed (WV) to bring phones.

   

  Most likely, we will be asked to also adopt the cell phone policy of collecting all cell phones. 

   

  I would like for World View students who arrive on time to school to still have the privilege of bringing their cell phones into the building. However, we must figure out a way to address this potential challenge of helping school safety identify which students are World View students who may bring their cell phone into the building and which students are Bronx Collaborative students and may not bring their cell phone into the building. 

   

  Feel free to share your ideas with your strand representative. The strand representatives will be meeting tomorrow during lunch to discuss (tower). 

   

  Kind Regards,

  World View High School
