Dear Parents/Guardians:

This letter is to inform you that the Texas Education Agency stated in the 2010 District and Campus Coordinator Manual (DCCM) for the Texas Student Assessment Program, “The use of cell phones during testing is not permitted for the following reasons.

• Making or receiving calls disrupts the testing environment by disturbing other students.
• Making or receiving calls could compromise the confidentiality of the test.
• The text messaging, camera features and internet capability of cell phones could be used to compromise the security and confidentiality of the test.” (DCCM p. 179)

The procedure set forth by Life School states that students will not be permitted to bring cell phones or other electronic media devices into the testing environment on state testing days.
