Cell Phones/Earbuds/Headphones/AI-Enabled Smart Glasses (banned in the district)

• Cell phones & Headphones are not permitted in the classrooms and gym classes (they are NOT TO BE VISIBLE OR BE IN USE).  Each student has a Chromebook and is to use their Chromebook to complete all assignments.  Cell phones must be on silent.  

• Students are not permitted to wear earbuds/headphones in the classroom.  All earbuds/headphones MUST be out of sight.  

• AI glasses/Smartwatches and other similar wearable technology may not be worn or used during the school day. This policy is in place to avoid distractions, protect student privacy, and maintain a focused learning environment. Please ensure that these devices remain at home.  Because they can discreetly record, stream, or access information, they present risks far beyond those of conventional devices. For this reason, they are not allowed in school, and we ask that families keep them at home.
