​Cell Phones
Cell phones are not allowed in the Realm during instructional time... not even in your pocket. Though technology is a useful tool, cell phones in class create more distraction than help. I have a device depot where all phones will be kept during class time.   LBJ also has also determined that phones are only allowed to be used during lunch time.
