In addition to the district technology usage policies found in the Christina School District student manual, our school has a policy in place for use of personal technology devices.
Cellular Phones - Students may utilize personal cellular phones for emergency calls, provided that they do so with the permission of their teacher and that doing so will not be disturbing other students in the classroom. Generally students are asked to step into the hallway or the counselor's office to make personal calls and they are asked to keep those calls to a minimum of 2 minutes. The use of cell phones to text or access social media should be minimized in the classroom as research has shown that doing so during classtime limits student progress.
Music - Students may listen to music while working in classes provided that the student has headphones AND that the music cannot be heard while the headphones are in. In addition, students should not have headphones on while walking in the hallways as this can interfere with students hearing instructions from staff members as they go from location to location throughout the building.
