Reminder: GPS & Listening Devices Not Permitted at School

As a reminder, WCPSS policy prohibits students from bringing/wearing devices that track their location by GPS. Additionally, any device that allows a parent/guardian to "listen-in" on a classroom is strictly prohibited at school. Though smart devices (smart watches, cell phones, etc) are permitted, they must be turned off during school hours. School administration reserves the right to confiscate devices that violate these policies. When confiscated, parents will be notified and the device(s) will be secured at school until a parent/guardian can pick it up.
