We realize cell phones are a valuable tool for communication between parents and their children; however, please note Dorothea Walker Elementary's cell phone policy:  Cell phones are permitted at school for use by students AFTER SCHOOL only.  Cell phones are not to be used during school hours, including lunchtime or recess.  Should a student need to contact a parent, they are to request permission from their teacher and go to the office to use the student telephone.  Cell phones are to be stored in backpacks during the school day.  Please note:  Students taking cell phones to school do so at their own risk - DWE is not responsible for lost or stolen cell phones.  Should a student be found using a cell phone during school hours, it will be confiscated and a parent will need to come to the school to claim it.
