P 2656 Student Cell Phone Usage

Developments in cell phone technology in recent years have resulted in enhanced communication opportunities.  However, the use of cell phones in schools poses increasing risks of school disruptions, bullying, criminal activity, and academic dishonesty.  As a result, student cell phones, digital cameras and similar electronic devices will be banned during instructional time without teacher permission as well as in dressing areas during extracurricular activities.  Violation of this policy will result in in-school suspension, while second offenses will result in out-of-school suspension being imposed. 

Telephones are available in school offices for parents to contact their student for legitimate reasons.
