Marlborough recently announced a new regulatory policy regarding the phone use of middle school students. Recently, the students took an online course about the appropriate usage of phones. Seventh through ninth-grade students are not permitted to use their phones from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. unless the middle school office provides an exemption, known as a “phone pass.” If a student gets caught on their phone, a faculty member will notify them and record the violation on My.Marlborough. If a student violates this policy three times, their phone will be kept in a special pouch, for a week, during school hours.
