Cell Phone Policy

Policy Overview:

• Use of Cell Phones, Smart Devices, and Accessories: Students are prohibited from using devices during instructional time. Upon entering the building, devices must be powered completely off and stored out of sight.

 

• Exceptions:  Device usage must be specifically outlined and approved in a student’s IEP or 504 Plan. Devices required for medical reasons must be documented by a physician or approved medical professional and submitted to the school nurse or designated school official. Device use during emergencies must be directed or authorized by school administration. Students needing to contact parents/guardians must request permission through the front office.

 

• Parental Communication: Parents are encouraged to contact students through official school communication channels during the school day. This ensures the safety and accessibility of important information. 

 

• Student Responsibility: Students are accountable for safeguarding their devices. The school district is not responsible for personal device theft, loss, or damage.

 

• Discipline: Teachers and staff will monitor compliance to uphold this policy. Violations will result in progressive disciplinary measures, including warnings, parent notifications, or in-school suspension.
