CELL PHONE MISUSE

If phones are used in a manner thatoffends, bullies, or
intimidates others, phones can be taken and returned to
parents and not allowed at school for the remainder of
the year. If this occurs outside of school hours, but the
issue causes a disruption to the educational process, the
same policy will apply.

PHONES AS CAMERAS AND VIDEO DEVICES

PHONES AS CAMERAS AND VIDEO DEVICES

Be aware that if a phone is used to video record events,
such as fights, school district policy states that the
student(s) are subject to discipline (suspension and
police involvement). The consequences are similar to
actively engaging in a fight (minimum of 3 day
suspension and possible police involvement).

PHONES AS CAMERAS AND VIDEO DEVICES

Lastly, the school assumes no responsibility if your
cell phone or other electronic devices are lost or
damaged.
