My son has a cell phone and takes it with him and it is in his backpack turned off. He knows that if for ANY reason he needs to contact me - especially in a situation like this - he is to do so.
If he gets in trouble for using it, I will evaluate and handle the situation with the school to MY satisfaction. I would think the school would have more of an issue to deal with at that time than kids on cell phones...
Kudos to you
