Name: Volodymyr Barytskyy Phone Number: 7579698795 Email: vo94@hotmail.com Comments: I am a student at York High School and I would like the school board to allow students to use their phones to write down the homework in the phone's calendar system. Let us have the first/last 1-2min of class to put it in the phone's calendar because than our phone's can remind us that we need to do the homework, I believe this could benefit a lot of kids that forget about homework.
