Electronic Devices (Cell Phones/Smartwatches/Earbuds/Headphones, etc.)
Cell phones and electronic devices, including Smartwatches, must be kept in a designated location and are to be turned off upon arrival to school. Personal electronic devices are not to be used during the school day, including recesses, lunch and passing periods. With teacher approval, students may use their personal electronic devices in the classroom for specific teacher lead activities. Personal electronic devices may be used after school once students are dismissed. Students who violate this policy will receive the following consequences:
