(KAIT) - Westside High School is considering extending an exception to the state’s “bell-to-bell” cellphone policy this year, according to Principal Katie Edlemon.Last year, high school leaders approved the exception after hearing from students around events including homecoming and the school pep rally.Edlemon said the purpose of the exception is to make sure students can have a keepsake of their time at the school. She said last year’s exception was an experiment that worked well.“The kids were using them correctly, as far as we know,” Edlemon said. “And they were taking videos of the activities that they were doing. And, you know, it really went well, which is going to help us to allow them to possibly do it this year.”Edlemon said students store much of their keepsakes digitally on their phones, a fact she said the school considered when making this decision.“It is hard for students to not have their phones because they are making memories,” Edlemon said. “They are doing things. They’re wanting to take pictures. They’re wanting to remember things from high school. And a lot of them is that it’s all carried on their phone.”Homecoming for Westside is Oct. 23.To report a typo or correction, please click here.</div></body>
