Good day. My name is Sean
O'Connor,

00:00:02.789 --> 00:00:05.040
assistant principal of Abraham
Lincoln High School.

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:08.380
I am here today to introduce
Lincoln High School's new cell

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:12.260
phone and electronic device
policy. Lincoln High School,

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:16.420
we follow New York state law on
cell phone and electronic device

00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:19.260
policies. Beginning in 2025,

00:00:19.459 --> 00:00:22.659
students will not be able to use
personal internet-enabled

00:00:22.659 --> 00:00:24.540
devices on school grounds.

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:28.760
The personal device ban includes
the following cellphones,

00:00:29.049 --> 00:00:34.930

iPads, tablets, laptops, melasses,

00:00:34.970 --> 00:00:36.650
or any version of melasses.

00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:41.369
This does not include any school
devices giving out to students.

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:42.529
Those will not be banned.

00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.750
The school band also defined in
the following areas in the

00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:46.240
building.

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.700
No cell phone devices or
electronic devices may be used in

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:54.409

student cafeteria, hallways,

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:56.599
library, bathrooms.

00:00:57.009 --> 00:01:01.009
Lincoln High School will be
using a disabled pouch this year.

00:01:01.990 --> 00:01:04.659
This is the pouch that each
student will receive.

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:06.349
When you come in in the morning,

00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.720
you're going to have to open it
up as follows.

00:01:09.919 --> 00:01:13.919
Take your device, put it in this
disabled pouch.

00:01:25.849 --> 00:01:29.130
Close it up and put it away for
the day.

00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:30.349
In case of emergency,

00:01:30.510 --> 00:01:34.910
students may go to room 101 or
102 to use the phone there to

00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:36.399
call whoever they need to.

00:01:36.699 --> 00:01:43.510
Parents can call 718-333-7465 to
talk to any staff member during

00:01:43.510 --> 00:01:46.739
the day. Students will be
responsible for each pouch.

00:01:46.949 --> 00:01:48.949
If this pouch is left home.

00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.000
Then your cell phone will be
confiscated for the day and

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.110
returned to you at the end. If
you lose your pouch,

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:57.839
then your cell phone will be
confiscated and given back to you

00:01:57.839 --> 00:02:00.219
at the end of the day until you
purchase a mobile.

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.639
Any student who intentionally
damages the pouch or removes their

00:02:04.639 --> 00:02:07.550
phone and uses a cell phone
during the school day may receive

00:02:07.550 --> 00:02:08.520

00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:11.929

00:02:13.399 --> 00:02:15.940
or go on the cell phone band
list where your phone will be

00:02:15.940 --> 00:02:18.279
confiscated every day and given
back to you at the end of the

00:02:18.279 --> 00:02:18.619
day.

00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:22.880
We hope to have a safe and
productive school year, and remember,

00:02:24.399 --> 00:02:26.399
go around with this.
