Cell Phones/Communication Devices
The school district understands and acknowledges that cell phones are a necessity for many students and
parents. Responsible usage of technology is expected of students at Chaffee Junior-Senior High School. Students will
be allowed to use cell phones while in the activity center during breakfast and lunch. If a student abuses this privilege,
they may lose all rights to access their cell phone during those times. Usage of phones in the classroom and restroom /
locker rooms are prohibited in efforts to protect the privacy of others and the academic integrity of courses at CHS. Cell
phones are expected to be set to silent during the school day to eliminate disruptions and/or interruptions.
Headphones/earbuds are prohibited on all areas of campus except for the Activity Center DURING breakfast/lunch. If a
student needs to make a phone call, they must do so in the office. Students who make a call from the bathroom or a
location in the school without coming to the office to call will be subject to disciplinary action by the building
administration.
