A Henrico County Public Schools principal is reminding parents to ensure their children bring only one cell phone to school.
J.R. Tucker High School’s principal, Arthur G. Raymond III, emailed parents about some students attempting to evade the county’s cell phone policy in August.

Raymond wrote that students seen with phones during instructional time in the hallway will have their phones taken.
