Bring Your On Device
Personally-Owned Devices
Students should keep personally-owned devices (including laptops, tablets, smart phones, and cell phones) turned off and put away during school hours except as authorized or directed by school personnel. In all matters involving the use or possession of personally-owned devices, students are expected to abide by the Code of Student Conduct, the Cell Phone Policy, and all the other applicable school policies and rules. Because of security concerns, when personally-owned mobile devices are used on campus, they should not be used over the school network without express permission from Technology staff.
Mobile Devices
The Board may provide users with mobile computers or other devices to promote learning outside of the classroom. Users should abide by the same acceptable use policies when using school devices off the school network as on the school network. Users are expected to treat these devices with extreme care and caution; these are expensive devices that the school is entrusting to your care. Users should report any loss, damage, or malfunction to the Technology Department or local administrative staff immediately. Users may be financially accountable for any damage or loss resulting from negligence or misuse. Use of school-issued mobile devices off the school network may be monitored.
Cell phones should not out at any time without the teacher’s permission. If a student has his/her cell phone out for any reason without the teacher’s permission will be sent to ISD and lose his/her privilege to use during class.
Read page 27 – 28, to better understand the Cell Policy.
Do NOT have your phones without permission!
If you abuse the privilege, you will lose the privilege.
NO headphones are allowed out without permission!!!
Attendance and Make-up Assignments
Attendance is required for each class session. If a student is absent it is the student’s responsibility to get the assignment from the teacher/ a classmate. However, the absentee will be given 5 days to have the assignment turned in, within the given timeframe.
