Technology Guidelines
There will be technology available to use while students are in the building. Students cannot bring their own devices to school as the CPS network will not allow outside devices.
Cell Phone Policy
Before a child is allowed to have a cell phone at school, a Canty Student Cell Phone/Wireless Device Agreement must be completed during the first week of school. While students are in the building, during, before or after school hours, cell phones are ONLY allowed to be in the students’ backpacks and must be turned off! Cell phones are not allowed to be taken out of students’ backpacks or turned on until the students have left the building. If a student does not abide by these rules the following consequences taken from Chicago Public School’s Student Rights and Responsibilities, code 2-12 will be strictly enforced.
Sick Student Protocol
Students registering temperatures of 100.4 degrees or higher or exhibiting any symptoms of sickness (see below) anytime during the day will wait in a supervised area until a staff member contacts a parent/guardian to pick them up immediately. Students exhibiting one or more of these symptoms (which may be signs of a communicable condition) will be medically excluded from school. If medically excluded, parent/guardian must obtain written documentation from the Medical Provider indicating that the child has been evaluated and indicate when the child is medically cleared to return to school.
Students exhibiting the symptoms below should NOT come to school and will be sent home immediately if any of these symptoms are observed. Please stay home if you or your student are not feeling well or if your student fails the Daily Health Screener.
