Cell Phones Cell phones are not allowed in the Realm during instructional time... not even in your pocket (this includes Smart Watches!) Though technology is a useful tool, cell phones in class create more distraction than help. DRMS's cell phone policy prohibits cell phone use any time during the school day. Phones are to be powered off and kept in backpacks or in our class device depot.
