**SRVUSD Cell Phone Policy
On June 10, 2025, the SRVUSD Governing Board adopted Board Policy 5131.8 and Administrative Regulation 5131.8 regarding Mobile Communication Devices (MCDs), which include, but are not limited to smartphones, smart watches, and wearable communication devices. This authority is granted by California Education Code Sections 48901.5 and 48901.7, as amended by AB 3216.
High school students may use their devices only during non-instructional time (e.g., breaks, lunch, passing periods). During classroom instructional time, MCDs must be turned off and put away, unless a teacher gives permission for academic use.
MCDs may not be used in a way that disrupts learning or violates others’ privacy. If a student uses a device in an unauthorized way, it may be confiscated and disciplinary action may be taken, especially in cases of repeated misuse.
Exceptions may be made for health needs, emergencies, or when required by a student’s IEP or 504 Plan, with appropriate documentation.
The district is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged devices brought to school.
Please use devices responsibly and follow all school rules to support a safe and focused learning environment.
Students are expected to store their personal devices in the classroom caddy which is located (state where ) away from the door.
Artificial Intelligence
SRVUSD acknowledges that globally, education systems are recognizing the transformative nature of AI. As AI becomes increasingly commonplace, it is apparent that students must be prepared to navigate new tools. Fortunately, the SRVUSD Learner Profile consists of skills that are uniquely human, which can complement this work. Please read more about the SRVUSD Guiding Principles of AI here.
