Cell Phone Policy

The optimal learning environment aims to minimize distractions, maximize student engagement, and ensure that all students are focused on their educational activities. The cell phone policy is:

No Cell Phones in Class

Students are not permitted to have their cell phones out during class time. All cell phones must be turned off or set to silent mode and stored out of sight (backpack or locker).

Consequences for Violation

First Offense: The phone will be confiscated by the teacher and sent to the the main office. The student can pick up their phone at the end of the school day.

Second Offense: If a student is found using or having their cell phone out during class a second time, the phone will be confiscated and sent to the main office. This time, a parent or guardian must come to the school to pick up the phone.

Third Offense: If a student is found using or having their cell phone out during class a third time, the phone will be confiscated and sent to the main office. The student will not be able to retrieve their phone until a meeting is held with an administrator, the student’s parent or guardian, and the student.

Exceptions: Medical reasons and disabilities with prior approval from the administration.

Enforcement: Teachers and staff are responsible for enforcing this policy and reporting violations to administration.
