Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A is the correct answer. The policy states that phones must be shut off when school begins, and can only be turned back on once the school day is over. The policy also states that they cannot be left on vibrate, if they are used during school hours there will be consequences, and they can't be used on campus or at school events.  

Therefore, B is not correct. The policy says phones can't be used at all on campus. C is not correct, because using phones is prohibited, especially during school hours. D is not correct, because the policy states that if phones are used they can be taken away, the student can be suspended, and there can be other disciplinary action.

The best choice is A: Using cell phones during school hours is not allowed.
