Use of Cell Phones/Approved Electronic Devices

 

For high schools, personal electronic devices (including, but not limited to cell phones, smartwatches, smart glasses, earbuds, and wireless headphones) cannot be used by students during the instructional time throughout the day. The high school instructional day is from 8:45 AM to 3:45 PM. All personal electronic devices must remain out of sight of others and be silenced during this time.

Unlike tardies, cell phone violations will not restart at the beginning of the semester.

1st violation - Lunch Detention

2nd violation - ISS

3rd and subsequent violations - OSS

In the cafeteria during lunch, students may use their cell phone (for educational purposes only) in the designated Phone Zone.
