But if anything urgent were to happen at school the student can go to the office and make a phone call there. The office wouldn’t mind if a student comes in to use the phone as long as they ask politely and have a reason to go with it. Maybe in some cases the student is doing well in school and the parent might think his or her kid is responsible enough and deserves one.
