CELL PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES AT SCHOOL
Personal iPods, e-readers, iPads, and/or other electronic devices may not be used in school. Upon arrival at school, such items must be turned off and placed in the student’s hallway locker immediately and remain there throughout the school day and during after-school activities. Items used during the school day without staff permission may be confiscated and held until a parent/guardian can pick them up. It is highly recommended that such items remain at home.
Student possession and/or use of cell phones and other electronic devices while at school is governed by Board of Education Policy 7:190 Student Behavior. Here is the excerpt related to cell phones:
The school administration is authorized to discipline students for gross disobedience or misconduct including,
but not limited to:
● Using or possessing a cellular phone, video recording device, or other electronic device in any manner
that disrupts the educational environment or violates the rights of others, including using the device to take photographs in locker rooms or bathrooms, cheat, or otherwise violate student conduct rules. Prohibited conduct specifically includes, without limitation, creating, sending, sharing, viewing, receiving, or possessing an indecent visual depiction of oneself or another person through the use of a computer, electronic communication device, or cellular telephone.
● All electronic devices (i.e., cell phones, earbuds, headphones, cellular wrist devices, etc.) must be kept powered-off and kept in the locker during the regular school day unless: (a) use of the device is provided in a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP); or (b) it is needed in an emergency that threatens the safety of students, staff, or other individuals.
Arrival
Dismissal
We want to ensure that all of our students are able to be safely dismissed from school. During one of our station rotations for P.B.I.S., we reviewed the dismissal procedures for students. Please see the bullet points below to assist in a smooth dismissal process.
Bus Riders- Students will be dismissed and will go directly onto the bus
Walkers-when they are dismissed from school they will begin their journey home. If you are walking home with your students we ask that you share with them that they should meet you near the grassy area by the crosswalk.
Car Riders-All car riders will be waiting behind their row with the designated numbers. Parents should have their sign for their car with the number on the sign. Once we see your sign we will call the number on the walkie talkie.
Parking Lot-Our parking lot is closed during dismissal and parents may not pull into the parking lot to park their car and pick-up their child.
Please be mindful of the traffic patterns and other drivers if you are picking up your child. We ask that you not pull in front of other parents that are waiting in the car pick-up line. We seek to be good neighbors to our community and ask that you not block any crosswalks, or driveways. Thank you for your cooperation with our procedures.
