Many students, even at the elementary level, are coming to school with cell phones and smart watches. Cell phones and smart watches may be brought to school, however students must follow the rules of cell phones and smart watches.

• Cell phones and smart watches may only be used before or after school outside of the school gates.

• Cell phones must be powered off and kept in backpacks.

• Smart watches may be worn on the wrist, however only used as a watch. Calling/messaging/other features may not be used during the school day.

If a student needs to contact a parent, they may ask their teacher or come to the office. If a student isn't feeling well, they should come to the office to see the nurse.

If a student is using their cell phone or smart watch on campus, consequences may include: verbal warning, phone call home, cell phone/smart watch held in office for parent to pick up, and/or loss of privileges.
