No cell phone use in classrooms
You can check them in the halls between classes, but once you enter the room, no phones should be out or visible.
If phones are seen being used in class, or heard (alarms going off, message alerts, ringing, etc.), they will be confiscated and will be picked up from the main office after school.
1st offence – Warning
2nd offence – one lunch detention
3rd offence – parents must pick up the phone from the office on behalf of the student; two lunch detentions
Continued offenses – The student will be placed on a cell phone contract where they will be required to turn their phone into the office when they arrive. Students on this plan will be allowed to check their phone in the office during approved times (between classes and lunch), but the phone will stay in the office until after school.
Leaving class to go to the bathroom
When signing out to go to the bathroom, students will leave their phone behind with the teacher, then pick it up when they return.
This will NOT count as having a phone in class, provided it is promptly put away when returning.
Phones may be used before and after school, between classes in the halls, and at lunch.
Taking pictures of other people requires their permission BEFORE taking their photo or video. Anyone violating this will have their phone confiscated.
Bluetooth headphones are not allowed in class. Bluetooth headphones will follow the same confiscation protocol as cell phones. If there is an assignment on computers that require headphones, only corded headphones may be used, and must be put away after the assignment is completed.
*If a student has an approved accommodation on file to have a cell phone or air pods, they will be allowed to do so.
