Cell Phone Policy

CELL PHONE POLICY 

As per Chancellor's Regulation A-413, students may bring cellphones to school, but they may not be turned on or used at school. All cell phones should be stored in a student's locker with the ringer off. This policy is often referred to as, “off and away throughout the day”. If a student uses their cell phone in class or in the hallway, the phone will be confiscated by school staff and held in a safe place. 

Students who refuse to give up phones in this circumstance will be referred to the dean and/or administration. Failure to comply with this can result in alternative phone procedures including phone confiscation upon arrival into the building.

• Phones will be confiscated if seen at any other point in time or place between 8:05 and 2:25. 
• Confiscated phones will only be returned to parents or guardians of the student to whom the phone belongs.
• Under no circumstances will phones be returned to any one except a parent or guardian.
• Confiscated phones will be secured until they are returned to a parent or guardian during school hours of 7:30AM - 3:00PM.
• There may be additional consequences issued to those students who have multiple violations of this policy.
