Cell phones will not be permitted in the classroom or in the halls during the 2024-2025 school year. Students will be able to use cell phones before school begins and during their designated lunch period. This policy is to ensure the best learning environment for all students.

1st offense – Student can pick up the phone from the office at the end of the day.

2nd offense – Parent must pick up the phone from the front office at the end of the day and pay $15.

3rd and 4th offense – Parent must pick up the phone from the front office at the end of the day, pay $15, AND the student will spend 3 days in ISS.

5th offense – Student loses the right to their phone during school for the remainder of the school year.

If a student refuses to turn over their cell phone when asked by a staff member, it is an automatic 3 days of ISS on the 1st refusal. A 2nd refusal will result in a DAEP placement.

Our commitment at TISD is to provide the best possible educational experience for our students and to prepare them for life after high school. In order to do this, our staff must be able to teach our students without the distraction of their cell phones. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the High School Principal, Mr. Jason Crow, or the Middle School Principal, Mr. Chris Nickleberry Sr.
