Under the Personal Electronic Communications guidelines, all Cell Phones, Smart Watches, any
type of Headphones and other devices used to electronically communicate are considered
personal electronic communications devices. To promote the best possible learning and social
environment in the classrooms and schools of Mansfield ISD, students will adhere to the
Guidelines listed below during the school day. The intent of the cell phone policy is to limit
access and use to avoid cellphones distracting from learning and causing a loss of instructional time.

• Students are expected to keep their devices turned off and stored away during the school day from 8:15 am to 4:15 pm. This includes the time prior to first bell, 8:15 am - 8:45 am, due to morning tutorials and breakfast. Students who violate the campus policy will be subject to
  disciplinary actions.
