Cell Phones and Electronic Devices PDF E-mail

Cell phones may be brought to school but must be turned off and put away during class time. Cell phones that are visible, ring or go off during classes will be confiscated. The first time this occurs, it will be given back to the student at the end of the day. The second time it will be given back to the parent upon request in person. The third infraction of this nature will result in the student not being allowed to bring a cell phone to school for the remainder of the year. Cell phones with cameras are not allowed in bathrooms or dressing rooms and will be confiscated if this prohibition is not heeded. Students may not use cell phones to call parents to ask to be picked up during school hours (this includes Monday Student Activities period). Parents must be called, if the student is sick or in case of emergency, through the school switchboard. Failure to observe this regulation will result in suspension of all cell phone privileges for the remainder of the year and will be cause for suspension of the student from school if the parent picks up the student without notifying the office, since this constitutes a serious breach of ISM security regulations.

Unauthorized recording, showing or posting in the community or on Internet of photographs/videos of teachers or students taken in school is considered a serious offense and will be dealt with as a minimum 3rd level intervention. Electronic devices such as ipods, MP3 players or other personal music/video players, game boys or other hand-held personal entertainment devices are not allowed in school (unless authorized in writing by a teacher for a specific school-related event or activity) and will be taken away from the student  by school personnel. The first time this occurs, it will be given back to the student at the end of the day. The second time it will be given back to the parent upon request in person. The third infraction of this nature will result in the device remaining in possession of school authorities for the remainder of the year and being returned at the end of the school year to the parent upon request.
