Student cell phones and other electronics are only allowed at school when kept turned off and in the backpack.
The exception is an Apple watch to be used as a clock on the wrist. Students may be asked to take off the apple watch during tests. If the student is using it to text or locate information on the internet, he/she will be asked to turn in to be locked up until the end of the day. He/she will call the parents to notify them that they were using their apple watch inappropriately at school.
The school is NOT responsible for lost cell phones or other technology devices.
If students do not turn them off or if it is taken out of a backpack at inappropriate times, without permission, the phone or electronic device will be collected and locked up until the end of the school day.
Some students travel home and may be going home to a house without a landline phone. Therefore, the cell phone will be returned at dismissal.
Other electronic and technology devices (except for cell phones) will be locked up until a parent comes to pick them up at school. It is the student's responsibility to tell their parents that this device was confiscated and locked up at school.
If a student continually violates the JRES Cell Phone Policy, the parents will be contacted and disciplinary action may be taken. Also, we may not return the phone until a parent comes to school to pick it up in the case that there have already been multiple cell phone infractions already communicated to the parent.
