The district permits students to possess personal cell phones for safety purposes; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing, unless they are being used for approved instructional purposes. A student must have approval to possess other personal telecommunications devices on campus such as laptops, tablets, or other portable computers.

Without such permission, teachers will collect the items and turn them in to the principal’s office. The principal will determine whether to return items to students at the end of the day or to contact parents to pick up the items.

The use of cell phones or any device capable of capturing images is strictly prohibited in locker rooms or restroom areas while at school or at a school-related or school-sponsored event.

If a student uses a telecommunications device without authorization during the school day, the device will be confiscated, and the student will be disciplined in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The Student Code of Conduct states the following:

1st referral     3 days detention; student may pick up at the end of the day
2nd referral    1 day SSAC or 3 days ISS; parent may pick up at the end of day
3rd referral     3 days ISS; parent may pick up at the end of the day
4th referral      5 days ISS; parent may pick up at the end of the day
5th referral     A discipline hearing will be scheduled, DAEP will be recommended.

Confiscated telecommunications devices that are not retrieved by the student or the student’s parent will be disposed of after the notice required by law. [See policy FNCE for more In limited circumstances and in accordance with law, a student’s personal telecommunications device may be searched by authorized personnel.

Any disciplinary action will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The district is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen telecommunications devices.
