4.17 — Personal Electronic Devices: School Policies and Services

Mobile electronic communication devices of any kind including cell phones, smart watches, tablets, laptops, and gaming devices may be used outside the building only before or after school hours.  With the exception of devices required for monitoring health conditions (i.e. diabetes), during school hours, all devices must be kept in lockers, or in backpacks if hanging on designated hallway hooks.  Devices should be turned off or silenced.  If a device is seen or heard inside the building during school hours (7:45 AM - 3:15 PM), it will be confiscated immediately and given to an administrator.  To guarantee student privacy and security, any device that has the capacity to take recordings (pictures, video, audio) is strictly prohibited in all bathrooms and locker rooms at any time, for any reason. Such violations will result in an automatic out-of-school suspension and device confiscation.
