Class Code of Conduct & DMD Policy
I will respect myself and others, by making good choices.
Consequences for my choices:
A student making good choices throughout the week earns the respect of all.
A student making poor choices will receive the appropriate attention needed - reminders, reset time, calls home, ...
** Kids inherently want to do well. We're sure we’ll have a great year. Please call if you have any concerns. Thanks!
Digital Media Device (DMD) including Cell Phone Policy
Bates Elementary is committed to making sure that Digital Media Devices such as cell phones, music and gaming devices, etc. do not interfere with our learning environment, safety procedures or infringe on the privacy of other. In order to do this, the following procedures will apply to the use of a DMD on school property during school hours:
Unless approved by the administrator, DMDs should not be seen, heard or used from 8:10 AM to 3:00 PM. It is strongly recommended that these devices do not come to school at all.
Misuse of the DMD may result in the device being held by the principal. Confiscated devices must be picked up at the school office by parents.
Three offenses in a year may lead to consequences including, but not limited to, behavior contracts, loss of privileges and suspension.
The office phone is available for students to contact parents in case of a school issue or emergency. Parents can also call the school to get messages to their child.
School personnel WILL NOT be held responsible for DMDs that are misplaced, lost or stolen.
School administration or designee may search DMDs if there is a reasonable suspicion that the device contains evidence of a violation of school and/or district policy.
School district policies and State and Federal laws regarding DMDs will be enforced.
Thank you for your support as we work together to provide a productive and safe learning environment for our students.
There may be times when students are allowed to use DMDs at school. If this is the case, you will be notified by text and email. A reply from you will be required before the student is allowed to use it.
