For educational purposes, teachers may incorporate the use of electronic devices (including cell phones) as needed for classroom activities.
Class/field trips are extensions of the classroom. It will be at the classroom teacher’s discretion when, or if, electronic devices are permitted during these trips.
Repeated violation of the class policy will result in an office referral.
The gymnasium, AV room, labs and any other instructional areas are considered classrooms for the intention of this policy.
Parents and guardians should not be contacting their students during class time. If it is an emergency or if they need to contact their student during class time, they can do so by calling the school at 902-758-4620.
Phones and electronic devices are prohibited during assessments. Some electronic devices could be used for cheating and therefore could bring about the suspicion of academic dishonesty. If a student is found with a cell phone during an assessment, the assessment will receive a mark of zero, and the student will be referred to the office for possible further consequences.
Students are not to engage in activities with cell phones and electronic devices that could result in invasions of privacy and/or sexual harassment. No photos, no videos and no audio recordings will be taken of other students or staff members without their permission.
