Cell Phone/Electronic Devices Policy:

Francis Bradley Middle School has clear policies and procedures regarding student use of cell phones and other electronic devices. Violations of these procedures will result in consequences in accordance with the school’s discipline policy and procedures, up to and including confiscation of these items. The following policies will be in effect at all times throughout the school day. 

● Cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off and stored in book bags during school hours and on the school bus, unless otherwise directed by the classroom teacher or bus driver. 

● Cell phones and electronic devices may NOT be carried in clothing pockets. 

● Electronic devices may be utilized for reading or instructional purposes at the discretion of the classroom teacher and at the students’ own risk (stolen and/or damaged items are not the responsibility of the school). 

● Any device used other than for an approved activity will be confiscated and turned in to administration. These items will not be returned to the student. Parents and/or guardians can pick up the items at a mutually agreed upon time. 

● Students are never allowed to take pictures or video/audio recordings of school staff members or other students. The CMS Photo and Video Release Form completed at the beginning of the school year applies to photos and videos created by the school and CMS. It is not a release for students to create these items on their personal devices for personal use. 

● Students must utilize the filtered CMS Guest Network when on campus and will not be permitted to access outside 3G/4G networks. 

● Bradley Middle has clearly defined “No Tech Use” areas. These include: 

o Physical Education classes o Bus (dependent upon bus driver’s rules/regulations)

 o Restrooms o Locker rooms and changing areas

 o Cafeteria

 o Hallways during transition times

 o Car rider line
