Phones & Electronic Devices

Students are allowed to use mobile phones prior to arriving on campus and after dismissal from the school day. Mobile phones are not to be used during the school day for ANY purpose and they should be turned off. In fact, the school encourages students to place their mobile phone in their locked vehicles or book bags. The school is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen mobile phones.

Students who use mobile phones in ANY manner during the school day, other than with permission to do so in the front office, or are caught with other unpermitted electronic devices (see below) will receive a detention and will have their device confiscated. Parents will be notified by either the student or the Assistant Head of School of Student Formation’s office that the confiscated mobile phone or electronic device must be retrieved by a parent or guardian. Parents may be contacted via a student’s cell phone from the front office with administrative approval. Any student who does not comply with a teacher or administrator’s request to forfeit the device will be subject to additional disciplinary actions. Students caught using any unpermitted electronic device during an assessment may receive a zero on the assessment.

Digital watches which may be used as communication devices are not allowed at school. This includes the Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, FitBit Ace, Charge, or Sense, and any similar devices.

Over-ear Headphones that cover the entire ear and wired in-ear earbuds should not be brought to school. Personal/portable speaker devices (wired and wireless) should not be brought to school. Wireless earbuds (such as Apple AirPods, Samsung Galaxy Buds, or other "true-wireless earbuds") should not be brought to school. The school is not responsible for any lost, damaged, or stolen personal audio devices.

Other personal electronics, such as mobile computers, gaming devices, virtual/mixed reality headsets, etc., may not be brought to school with the exception of co-curricular activities (see STUDENT TECHNOLOGY RESPONSIBILITIES).
