P 2656 Student Cell Phone Usage

Developments in cell phone technology have resulted in enhanced communication opportunities. However, the use of cell phones in schools poses increasing risks of school disruptions, bullying, criminal activity, and academic dishonesty. As a result, student cell phones, smart watches, digital cameras and similar electronic devices will be banned during the instructional day, as well as, in dressing areas during extracurricular activities. Violation of this policy will result in up to 5 days in-school suspension and the phone will only be released to a parent/guardian. 

Students may visit the office to use their cell phone for approved purposes. Telephones are also available in school offices for parents to contact their student for legitimate reasons.
