Electronic Devices (Cell Phones/Smartwatches/Earbuds/Headphones, etc.)
Cell phones and electronic devices, except Smartwatches, must be kept in backpacks and are to be turned off upon arrival to school. Smartwatches, if worn, must be on airplane or school mode during the instructional day. 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:
First Offense: Cell phone and/or electronic devices will be confiscated and students will be permitted to retrieve them after school.
Second Offense: Cell phone and/or electronic devices will be confiscated and parent(s) will be permitted to retrieve them after school.
