Student Cell Phone Policy From the Handbook
Personal electronic devices are not allowed to be used in school from the opening of school in the morning to the dismissal bell, with the exception of lunch periods in the designated area. Classroom teachers may permit use at their discretion for educational purposes only. Teachers may collect personal electronic devices for the duration of class or shop time to prevent distractions and infractions. Examples of personal electronic equipment are: cell phones, smart watches, music players, laser pointers or any device that could cause a disturbance. Student-owned laptops and tablets may be used for educational purposes only and may be prohibited for students who use the equipment inappropriately.
Property confiscated from a student because it is disruptive to the school program or against school rules will be placed in the Assistant Principal’s office and returned to the parent upon administrative approval. The school department and/or the Assistant Principal’s office are not responsible for any student property or valuables confiscated in violation of school rules.
The policy does not apply to properties taken according to the Search and Seizure Policy. Electronic devices may become evidence in a school investigation and may fall under the Student Search procedures. Property that threatens the safety of any member of the school community or is in violation of the law will be retained for a longer period of time dependent upon the property and the circumstances surrounding its confiscation.
