Students and parents are required to read and sign the Internet, Network and Email Use Agreement. This document can be found under forms to complete.
Cell phones, smart watches, and electronic devices (with the exception of e-readers as defined below) are prohibited for student use in the building from 7:50-4:00. If on campus before or after these hours, devices may not be used in a manner which is potentially unsafe or illegal or otherwise might violate the safety and privacy guidelines for students. Cell phones in use during the school day will result in confiscation of the device by the classroom teacher. The classroom teacher will turn the cell phone into the front office and administration will address the issue with the student and the parent, as needed.
Prohibited uses include but are not limited to:
1. Using the device to create video or audio recordings of students and/or staff, without permission of the student and/or staff member;
2. Using the device to take photographs of students and/or staff, without permission of the student and/or staff member;
3. Using the device for academic dishonesty or cheating;
4. Using the device in any manner that disrupts the academic environment, or otherwise disrupts school activities or functions;
5. Using the device to send, receive or possess text or
e- mail messages reasonably interpreted as indecent, inappropriate or sexually suggestive while at school, on school transportation, or at a school-related function;
6. Using the device to threaten, harass, intimidate, or bully;
7. Departing a class to activate or operate such devices.
Depending upon the nature and the severity of the violation, as determined by school administration, any violation of the ”Student Use of Cell Phones and Other Personal Electronic Devices” code of conduct may result in disciplinary sanctions up to and including expulsion from school.
E-Readers may be used during teacher directed reading times only. Before a device will be allowed for use in the classroom, students must have an e-reader agreement signed by their parents and presented to the classroom teacher. Agreements are available through the classroom teacher upon parent and student request. Smart Phones are not appropriate reading devices and therefore are not allowed as e-readers. ANY device found to be used for gaming, surfing, or is found in violation of the above cell phone and electronic device guidelines, will result in confiscation of the device by the classroom teacher. The classroom teacher will turn the device into the front office and Administration will address the issue with the child and parents as needed.
