The district prohibits the use of telecommunications devices such as cell phones, pagers, PDA's, digital cameras, video cameras, MP3 players, iPods, CD Players, video games or any other device which has the potential to be a distraction to the learning environment. Students may possess such devices, but they must not be visible and remain completely off (not just on silent) during the school day. The school day is defined as from the time a student first enters the school building for the day until the last dismissal bell of the day. This policy is discussed in detail in the Code of Conduct.

Students who need to make calls for emergency purposes may ask permission to use the office phone or classroom phone. Parents who need to contact students during the school day must call the school office.

Violations of this policy are subject to disciplinary action. A student's failure to comply with a request to promptly and peacefully relinquish a device will result in more serious disciplinary action.
