Cell Phones

The use of personal electronic devices, including but not limited to cell phones, smartwatches, and headphones, is prohibited during the school day, defined as from the first instructional bell to the final dismissal bell. All devices must be powered off and stored out of sight, such as in a backpack or locker, at all times. Use in the classroom is permitted only with the explicit, direct approval of a teacher for a specific academic task.

Exceptions are made for students with documented medical necessities or for whom device use is stipulated in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan. Violations will result in confiscation of the device, which may only be retrieved by a parent or guardian from the school office. The school assumes no responsibility or liability for lost, stolen, or damaged personal electronic devices.
