Cell Phones and Electronic Devices

Students may not carry cell phones, smart watches, or other non-school issued electronic communication devices (tablets, etc). If a student needs to have a cell phone for after school, they need to check their phone into the office before the first bell and pick it up after dismissal. However, they may not be turned on unless off campus. Students having an emergency during school hours may ask for permission to use a school telephone. Emergencies do not include forgotten homework or lunch, rides home, play dates or just to talk. Students caught with a phone, smart watch or other electronic communication device in their possession during school hours may be suspended. Students caught with a phone turned on before or after school hours and on campus (hallways, playgrounds, etc.) will receive appropriate consequences including detention or up to and including a suspension depending on their behavior with the device.
