High school students are permitted to carry personal communication devices with them during the school day. They must be turned off or in silent mode at all times. These devices may not disrupt instructional times and should be put away in backpacks, lockers or caddies. Instructional time is defined as from the sound of the late bell to the sound of the dismissal bell. High school students may use their personal communication devices before or after school hours, during lunch, and during hallway/transition times.

If a student has their personal communication device out during instructional time, the instructional staff will notify an administrator. Administration will follow a progressive consequences response.

The electronic equipment will be returned to a parent/guardian only (no earlier than 2:15pm on the day of the infraction or any time thereafter).
