Cell Phone Policy

Middle School

.

Middle School students will receive time for a cell phone check at 1:20pm to communicate with parents (if needed) for afternoon pickup purposes.

We want students engaged in the educational activities that our professional educators work to provide for our students. Cell phones are a distraction to the school day and are not permitted in the middle school other than the cell phone check.

High School

.

Suggestion:

- Students keep cell phones in bags during instructional time.

- Students turn cell phones in to their teacher during instructional time.

Purpose:

It is critical to cut down on the number of distractions available to students in the learning environment. We want to help teach our high school students appropriate use of technology.

Dress Code

Student Dress Code Expectations: The Bryan County Schools Student/Parent Handbook outlines the dress code in detail. The basic dress code is intended to encourage students to “dress for success” and to come to school properly prepared to participate in the learning environment.

Expectations:

● The maintenance of common decency and classroom order requires adequate coverage of the person.

● Clothes must be worn in a way such that genitals, buttocks, bellies, chests, and undergarments are fully covered with opaque fabric.

● Students will not be permitted to wear clothing that advertises the use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances which, if used by a minor, would be illegal.

● Additionally, clothing will not be permitted which advertises, promotes, or, via innuendo or double meaning, suggests inappropriate ideas or behavior not conducive to a positive school climate or is disruptive to the educational functioning of the school. This includes promoting violence, gang affiliation, and racially or sexually offensive messages or references.

● Blankets are not permitted at school and are not a piece of clothing.

● Headwear such as but not limited to hats or hoodies are not to be worn during instructional time as dictated by the teacher from the beginning of the year.
