A quick word about ear buds and technology @ SMMS

Just want to make sure everyone is aware that despite the new technology rules at SMMS, there are plenty of times when it's educationally appropriate to have a pair of earbuds at school.  Many teachers use Chromebooks throughout the year, and in my class students will need to listen to something they've crated for my class.  I recommend getting a cheap pair of earbuds for students to leave in their pencil pouch for just such situations.  It's important to remember that if students have them out in the halls or at inappropriate times during class they will be taken away.
