Cell Phone Policy

Cell phones are a privilege to have, not an expectation. Student cell phones may be permitted on campus but the following rules must be followed:

• Cell phones must be turned off and completely powered down by the first school bell (not in Airplane Mode)
• Cell phones must be kept in a student’s backpack - not in clothing pockets.
• Cell phones may only be turned back on at the 3:00 PM school bell.
• Cell phones are not allowed to be used in the classroom or with AirPods or In-Ear Headphones unless the teacher gives permission to do so for academic purposes.
• Cell phones are not allowed to be used during transition times between classes or lunch.
• Cell phones may only be used under the direct supervision of a staff member.

If a student violates the cell phone expectations:

1st Time Violation: A referral is written and the cell phone is confiscated by staff and held in the school office until the student can pick it up after 3:00 PM.

2nd Time Violation: A referral is written and the cell phone is confiscated by staff and held in the school office until a parent/guardian can pick up after 3:00 PM. Or the Administration gets verbal permission from the parents to release back to students. In addition, the administration may also issue consequences such as a detention or loss of school privilege.
