Cell Phones and /or Personal Electronic Devices

If a student chooses to bring personal electronic devices/cell phones to school and carry them throughout the day, these items are the student’s responsibility.  The school district is not responsible for any personal electronic device/cell phone or accessories that are damaged, lost, or stolen while on school grounds, even if the teacher requires any of these items to be placed in a specific area. Students are expected to be able to use a school issued device for class at a teacher’s request.
