Students are permitted to bring cell phones on school campus. While school is in session, cell phones must be put away (out of sight) and turned off. Putting a phone on silent does not constitute it being off. Students may not use cell phones while on campus. Any use of a cell phone to listen to music (ear buds will be confiscated if seen being worn), text, take pictures or other unauthorized use is not allowed. Students may use the school phone for emergency or other necessary calls (not during class time). Connecting to the school Wi-Fi through a personal device is strictly prohibited.

  • Second offense - student's phone will be confiscated and turned into the principal or vice-principal. The phone will only be returned to parents or guardians.
