Procedure for cell phones and headphones for the 2019-2020 school year:

• Cell phones will be silent and out of sight in instructional zones.

• Wired headphones will only be permitted in instructional zones when connected to a Chromebook and is a requirement to fulfill an assignment where sound is required. Wireless headphones will not be permitted in instructional zones.

• The following steps will be followed in instructional zones for students who use their cell phones and/or wireless headphones OR use their wired headphones in a way that is not outlined in the procedure:

• 1st offense: Student gives phone/headphones to teacher/staff member; parent contact is made; student receives phone/headphones back at the end of the day.

• 2nd offense: Student gives phone/headphones to teacher/staff member; parent contact is made; parent/guardian picks up phone/headphones from the school.

• 3rd offense: Student gives phone/headphones to teacher/staff member; student is assigned AIA; parent/guardian picks up phone/headphones from the school.

Rationale:

• We want all of our students to “be here” both physically and mentally. Cell phone use during instructional time is a distraction and creates an environment that is not conducive to learning.

• We want to teach students that there are times when cell phone use is not appropriate.

• We want students to practice communicating with others face to face.
