Cell Phones

Student Cell Phones

Cell Phone use by students is not and will not be allowed at any time during the school day. The school day is defined from the time a student arrives on campus in the morning until the student exits campus either at the end of the school day or the end of the afterschool program. (Exception would be for coaches/club sponsors to allow students to use a cell phone to contact parents/guardians after a practice or after school event.)  This does not mean that the administration, teachers, and staff will be conducting searches for devices as it is a reality that many students will have cell phones with them. Those cell phones should be turned off or on silent and should not be visible by teacher, admin, or staff members; cell phones should be in book bags, not in pockets.


Administration Procedures:

If a student is found using a phone at school or a student’s phone rings, buzzes, etc, the following procedure will take place: 

K-5th grade:

The student will be asked to give the phone to the teacher, who will then turn in to an administrator. A parent will be contacted and asked to pick the phone up at school. 


 Any future violations will result in increased consequences such as community service, ISS, etc.


Junior High (6-8th grades)

The student will be asked to give the phone to the teacher, who will then turn in to an administrator. Administrator will conference with the student.


1st Chance: Principal will meet with the student, document the meeting, issue a warning, and the phone will be returned to the student at the end of the school day.


2nd Chance: Principal will contact parents who will have to come get the device and the student will receive an office referral and consequences such as community service, etc.


3rd Chance: Same as 2nd chance except the student will receive consequences such as ISS, after-school detention, etc.


Any future violations will result in increased consequences above.

 

**If a student is using a phone for inappropriate actions (making and/or posting pictures/videos from or during school, practices, games, etc), administration may skip the steps above and move to more appropriate disciplinary actions.
