Mr. Teske

At high schools, students with cell phones or other personal technology devices (PTDs) must keep their PTDs turned off and away during class periods (for example in a cell phone caddy or pocket chart located in the classroom) unless specifically directed to do otherwise by a school employee.  Violation of this regulation will result in confiscation of the PTD until the end of the period. Refusal to relinquish a PTD will result in a discipline referral.

For my class, PTDs may include cell phones, smart watches, earbuds, and anything else that potentially distracts from the learning environment. 

Students who require a PTD as part of accommodations specified in their 504 plan or Individual Education Program (IEP) will be allowed access to their PTD as described in their 504 plan or IEP.
