A reminder on the VBMS cell phone policy:  "Students may possess a cell phone or any other non-school issued communicative devices during the school day.  The device should remain out of sight and as part of educating students on appropriate use, should be turned to silent or powered-off unless given teacher permission to use for an instructional purpose during the school day."

In summary:  Without staff permission, your phone is off and out of sight.  This includes hallways and lunch.
