Office telephones are business phones and are not available for a student’s casual personal use. They are available to students in cases of emergency, a forgotten lunch, a missed ride, or a change in school activity that requires communication with a parent.
Cell phones are to be turned off and stored when in the school building. Cell phones will be temporarily confiscated from students who disregard this policy or who cause a distraction of any kind with their cell phone. Cell phones may be used outside the building or with a staff member’s permission to meet special needs. Parents who must reach their child during school hours may call the school office and a message will be taken to the student. Students will not be called out of class except in cases of extreme emergency.
IPods, electronic games, or any other personal electronic devices, are to be kept in the student’s locker during school hours. If they are displayed while school is in session, they will be confiscated for a period of time to be determined by the teacher/principal. These devices may be used before or after school but IPod music may not be shared among classmates. IPods will be temporarily confiscated if music is shared.
