The use of electronic devices by a student when school is in session is not allowed. Handheld games and the like should not be brought to school. Students who bring handheld games to school will have them confiscated, unless authorized by Administration. The use of Kindles and Nooks is permitted for reading purposes only. If any of these items are brought to school, and then lost or stolen, the school is not responsible for the loss. Apple Watches and similar time pieces are to be turned off just like a phone while on campus.

According to the Palm Beach County Public School Board’s Code of Conduct, “Any unauthorized use of cellular phones and other wireless communication devices during the instructional school day, while on school-sponsored transportation, or at such times as not authorized by the school principal or designee, is prohibited as it disrupts the instructional program or distracts from the educational environment” (SB policy 5.183) If a student possesses a cellular telephone, it should be turned off and kept out of sight inside a book bag and may not emit any ring tone or other noise on school grounds during school hours. The consequences are as follows:

· First Offense: The cell phone will be returned to the parent/guardian of the student after signing the cellular telephone policy form.

· Second Offense: The cell phone will be returned to the parent/guardian of the student after signing the cellular telephone policy form and the student receives a detention.

· Third Offense: Parent must sign paperwork that acknowledges that the cell phone will be returned at the end of the academic year.

Failure to surrender items to a faculty or staff member upon request will result in other disciplinary consequences, including possible suspension for insubordination.

Families who DID NOT complete the 8 hours for last school year and did not complete the 4 hours by winter break, will not receive the Intent to Return for next year.

The Learner Profile strives to build global citizens and lifelong learners, challenging us all to be the best that we can be in the home and school. As parents, using this language and terminology in the home can be a powerful way of reinforcing these ten personal attributes.

January IB Learner Profile Attribute: Principled

Students who are PRINCIPLED have a sense of fairness and are honest with themselves and with others. They understand that sometimes there are rules and they follow them. They have an understanding of moral reasoning.

How can parents help to develop students who are Principled at home?

• Involve your child in deciding on the rules for a game or activity and then ensure that they stick to the ones that have been decided upon.
• Encourage your child to play games that involve teams. Discuss with your child the qualities of a team player. What sort of person would they want on their team?
• When your child wins a game insist that he or she is a well-mannered winner. They might thank their opponent or shake hands with them if it’s appropriate.
• When playing a game, don’t change the rules or let your child win. Being a gracious loser is just as important as being a good winner.
