ELECTRONIC DEVICES (See District Policy 518)

Cell Phone Expectations

All students are required to turn off their personal communication devices (PCD) and securely store them in their cars or lockers upon arrival at school. At no time is a student allowed to have a PCD on their person (pockets, backpacks, wearables, etc) while on school campus.

 A PCD must be stored away during all school hours, including lunch, passing periods, snack break, etc.

 All personnel are mandated to rigorously enforce this policy on campus.

Cell Phone Exceptions

PCD use and/or storage location accommodations may be made for students with medical or health needs (e.g. diabetic monitoring). In these case-by-case circumstances, phone use and/or storage will be determined by administration or the IEP/504 team.

Cell Phone Consequences:

• 1st violation: The device will be confiscated until the end of the day at which time the parent/guardian may reclaim it from the principal’s office.

• 2nd violation: The device will be confiscated and a meeting between parent/guardian with administration must be held before reclaiming the device.

• 3rd violation: The student will receive a behavioral referral for insubordination and receive out-of-school suspension for disciplinary action.

The district is NOT responsible for theft, loss, damage, or vandalism to any personal possessions, electronic communication or entertainment devices brought onto its property.  Recharging of student electronic devices at school is at the discretion of the teacher.
