📵 No Cell Phones at School 📵

Why No Cell Phones at School?
At Maxson, we want our students focused on learning, friendships, and fun—not screens. Cell phones can cause distractions in class, take away from valuable learning time, and sometimes lead to problems like lost or damaged devices.

By keeping school a cell phone–free zone, we help create a safe, focused, and supportive environment for every child. Thank you for partnering with us to put learning first! 💙✨
