Cell Phone Policy

No student may use a cell phone or portable communication device (smart watches, earbuds, etc.) on school property during the school day. During school hours cell phones and/or communication devices must be turned off (not on vibrate mode) and stored out of sight. The “school day” is defined as the time students are on school premises from arrival until dismissal, including field trips. Devices that disturb the learning environment will be confiscated if this policy is not followed.  The device will be returned to the student on the first offense. A parent or guardian must come to the school to retrieve the device beginning with the second offense. Multiple offenses will result in the device(s) being held until the end of the year.  Using a cell phone or communication device may include but not be limited to text messaging, taking pictures or videos, playing games, receiving and/or sending calls. Students may not activate video cameras at any time unless they are directed to by a teacher or administrator. During state testing, all devices for third, fourth and fifth graders will be locked away for the duration of the test. Please reference the CCSD Student Code of Conduct for the specific policy.
