Cell Phone Policy
Students that have a cell phone are welcome to bring their device. However, students will not be allowed to use devices during times of worship, Bible study, small group discussion, or group activities. Cell reception is very spotty in Lueders, so they won’t be able to use it anyway, but students who are on their phones at night will have their phone held by an adult until we return home. We will also take up phones that are used during the aforementioned times. Phones are permissible on the bus, and during free time for taking pictures. Please visit with your student ahead of time (if they have a phone) about this policy.
