Personal Cell Phones
Cell phone etiquette is essential to maintaining an academic environment. Students and parents must review, sign, and return the signed Student/Parent Cell Phone Contract at the beginning of each academic year. Only through this written request from the parent, may students bring cell phones to school. Cellular phones must be checked in to homeroom teachers each morning by 8:20am. Students may not access their cell phones during the course of the academic day.
Should a student be observed using a cell phone, or a cell phone rings during the school day, disciplinary action will include but is not limited to an administrative referral and confiscation of the cell phone.*
*Should confiscation occur the phone will only be returned when retrieved by a parent or guardian.
Additionally, student abuse of this policy will result in the student losing the privilege to carry a cell phone permanently, or for a period of time as determined by an administrator.
