Mobile Phone Use Policy

In light of the research concerning screen use we formed a committee of teachers, students, and parents to determine what policy to put in place.

Mobile phones aren’t to be used outside of the classroom (hallways, breaks, lunch, field trips, etc.) and only in classrooms with the teacher’s permission.

If a student is using a phone inappropriately (other than for educational purposes), the following will occur:

1^st time: Warning given

2^nd time: Phone is taken and can be picked up by the student at the end of the day from the director.

3^rd time: Phone is taken and can be picked up by the student after a week, or any time by a parent. If a parent picks up a phone prior to the end of the week, the student can’t bring the phone to school for a week.

4^th time: This becomes a disciplinary issue handled by the director. We’ve never gotten to this point, by the way.
