📵 Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy 📵
IMPORTANT NOTE: The device policy applies to After School Tutoring and Academic Saturday as well. Students are NOT to use their devices during any academic sessions.
Students received multiple reminders by staff, attended a Student Success Assembly on Friday, 8/16, and had daily reminders in the morning announcements the first week of school regarding the new Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy. Moving forward, if a student's phone is confiscated they will receive the following consequences:
1st Offense: Phone is confiscated and returned to student. Parent contacted.
2nd Offense: Phone is confiscated and returned to parent. Parent contacted.
3rd Offense: Phone is confiscated and returned to parent. School issued consequence.
4th Offense: Phone is confiscated and returned to parent. Parent conference and phone contract implemented.
Please review these guidelines. If you have any questions concerning this notice, please contact us at (951) 736-3216. Your cooperation with this matter is greatly appreciated. Items confiscated must be picked up in the front office, by a parent or guardian, between the hours of 7:15am & 3:15 pm. Please return signed form prior to the start of the next school day, otherwise a detention will be issued.
Front Office Drop Off & Student Check Out Procedures.
- ECMS limits students to 2 drop offs per year. Examples of drop offs include, homework, chromebooks, & lunch (no P.E. clothes drop off & Birthday balloons). Students may pick up items during passing period or lunch time. Student lunch is free, however, if a student is needing a lunch drop off.
Lunch times are as follows:
1st lunch: 11:15am-11:50am
2nd lunch 12:10pm-12:45pm
- To ensure the safety of the students - We ask that when you come to the office to sign your student out early or send anyone that is listed on your students emergency contact list; we will expect you to provide a physical ID card and not a photocopy of your ID on your phone. Students will not be released if you do not have a physical ID card!
No Food Delivery Services Accepted - ECMS does NOT allow students to receive ANY Food Delivery at any time during the school day (including but not limited to; Uber Eats, Doordash, Grub Hub, etc.) Students are NOT allowed to order food and have it delivered to our campus. Deliveries will be turned away.
- Prohibited drinks: Starbucks drinks, sodas, fruity drinks or any type of energy drinks are not allowed. If students purchase a slushy during lunch time, it cannot be taken into the classroom, only water bottles are allowed.! Any student seen with an energy drink on campus, will be confiscated. Also, any students arriving late with Starbucks or Jamba Juice, etc. will not be allowed to take the drinks into class.
Thank you for your support and understanding!
