​​Br​ing Your Own Device Policy

Students do not need to bring or access cellular phones or portable communication devices in order to engage the curriculum or to participate in co-curricular activities. School owned and controlled iPads are issued to students. Students do not need any other devices on campus and are STRONGLY discouraged from bringing phones and other devices to school. Even though discouraged, cellular phones may be brought to school with written parental permission. 

All portable communication devices (including smart watches) must be turned “OFF” and stored in a backpack, book bag, locker, or other place where the device is not visible. 

Portable communication devices may NOT be turned on at any time during the regular school day for any reason, except to call 911 in emergencies, or with the express permission of a faculty or staff member.

This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, study hall, lunch breaks, ASP, early morning care, co curricular activities, school dances, class changes and any other scheduled or non-scheduled activity that occurs during normal school hours and/or during co curricular activities.

​If a student uses a portable communication device or any of its functions for any reason during the school day or in ASP without express adult permission, the following measures will be taken:

• The device will be confiscated from the student
• The device will be returned only to the student’s parent or legal guardian
• Depending on the circumstances, the student may be denied the right to bring the device to school
• Repeat violations of the policy will result in disciplinary measures appropriate to the circumstances, including expulsion if warranted
• If a device is used for cheating during a test, the student will be removed from the testing situation and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken
