Cell Phone Policy
School District policy asks that students use technology responsibly, but that school administration may guide the extent of its usage within a building. Inappropriate cell-phone use is a discipline issue. It takes away student learning time and damages both peer relationships and student/staff relationships.
Thank you for supporting our school and our students.
Student Expectations:
-
I understand that having a cell phone is a privilege that I will not take advantage of.
-
I will protect my privacy and will not give my cell phone number to anyone with whom I am not familiar.
-
I will not send inappropriate, harmful or threatening text messages, send or post any pictures or videos of anyone without my parents’ and the person’s permission.
-
I understand that I am responsible for the safekeeping of my cell phone.
-
It is my responsibility to report any harmful, threatening or bullying behavior (written, picture or video) to Safe2Tell, police, parents, or staff members immediately.
-
I will have my phone off or on airplane mode and in my backpack during the school day.
-
Failure to give your phone to school personnel is an act of defiance and may result in suspension.
Parent Expectations:
-
I have read and will reinforce the student expectation, policy, and contract with my child.
-
I will monitor my child’s use of his/her cell phone.
-
I will ensure my child understands the dangers of texting/interacting with people they are unfamiliar with, posting pictures and/or videos and posting to social media.
-
It is my responsibility to report any harmful and threatening behavior (written, picture or video) to Safe2Tell, police, or staff members immediately.
-
I will not call my child’s cell phone during school hours as students phones will be off or on airplane mode. Result of this will be a tech violation for my child for disrupting class. Please call the office for any communication, emergency or otherwise, during school hours of 7:30 – 2:45pm. (303-387-1300)
