Restorative Practices

McGlone leverages restorative practices to promote and strengthen positive school culture and enhance pro-social relationships within the school community. 

School Cell Phone Policy

We know that cell phones are a large part of our world today and understand the importance of clear communication. As a school, we have made the decision that they will not be part of the educational experience at McGlone.  We are seeing the negative effects of social media and screen time and want to ensure that your student’s experience is centered on their academics and this will be a way to support their academic growth. We thank you for your continued support in ensuring that our students are living our priorities of Every Minute Counts!
