Cell Phone, Smart Watch, and Wireless Headphone Procedure

Cell phones, smart watches, and wireless headphones will be turned off and put away upon entering the building and put away in a locker or backpack during the school day.

Students may use wired headphones throughout the day at the teacher’s discretion.

Cell phones, smart watches, and wireless headphones may be used at the beginning of dismissal at 2:25pm. Dismissal is at 2:30pm.

No cell phones, smart watches or wireless headphones shall be used during detention or tutoring.

The school is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged technology, or any financial obligations resulting from cellular phones, smart watches, or wireless headphones.

If a staff member sees or hears a student's device, they will either confiscate the device and turn it into the office or ask the student to turn it into the office.

Violations of the rules may result in loss of the privilege to have a phone at school.

Please note that the changes to our practice for the 2024-2025 school year are:

  • The inclusion of smart watches turned off and put away during the school day.

  • Student cell phones are turned off and put away when they enter the building.
