The student handbook states that
"Student use of cell phones/personal technology devices is permitted during passing periods and in the commons area during lunch. Each student is provided a district-issued device to facilitate learning during class. This device, not a student cell phone, is considered the primary electronic resource to support learning in classrooms. During class instruction cell phones will be either secured using the designated classroom storage procedure"
and that
"Students are expected to comply affirmatively with the redirection/intervention efforts of teachers/administrators specific to cell phone use during classes. Failure to cooperate with staff will result in disciplinary action."
As a part of a school-wide initiative to help students avoid distraction caused by texting, social media, and other activities associated with phones the orchestra will be complying with the phone pick-up policy. The following is a description of how this procedure will be carried out.
Phone collection and distribution procedure
Students are expected to keep their phones in their backpack and those backpacks will be in their lockers.
If a phone is out the student will be corrected.
If issues arrise regarding this policy and procedure, disciplinary actions will be taken.
