📵 OFF & AWAY — BELL TO BELL!

Dear Rafael Hernandez Families,

To support a focused, safe, and distraction-free learning environment, all smartphones, smartwatches, smart glasses, and other internet-enabled devices must be turned off and put away for the entire school day—from the first bell through dismissal.

🔐 Classrooms will be equipped with phone lockers for all students to place their phones during class.

We appreciate our parents and guardians partnering with us to help students stay present, engaged, and ready to learn.

❤️🩶 Rafael Hernandez High School
Off & Away. Bell to Bell.
