Developments in cell phone technology in recent years have resulted in enhanced communication opportunities. However, the use of cellphones 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 the school day, as well as, in dressing areas during extracurricular activities. A school day is defined as once a student arrives on campus until they leave campus at the end of the school day, including instructional time, meal time and in between classes.  Violation of this policy will result in discipline (see student handbooks).
