Use of the school’s computer network and the Internet provides great educational benefits to students. Access to both is provided as a privilege to students who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner. Please follow these guidelines:

Cellular Phones and Electronic Devices

Students are expected to use electronic devices responsibly in and out of school. Cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off during instructional time unless they are being used for active learning prescribed by the teacher. Students who do not comply with the Cell Phone and Electronic Device Usage Policy may have their cell phone or electronic device confiscated by school staff. Students can pick up their device from the teacher or administrator in the main office at the end of the school day.
