At Lufkin Road Middle School, we maintain a learning environment that maximizes student engagement while minimizing distractions and disruptions. During these formative years, technology can expose students to new ideas, interests, and challenges. We want to facilitate the appropriate and responsible use of technology. 

Therefore, our school’s policy permits student use of WCPSS-issued chromebook or school-provided devices for digital learning needs while on campus.  Use of cell phones, Airpods, and personal technology devices are not permitted during school hours. Please review details below:

Guidelines

• Cell phones should be stowed in book bags or pockets upon arriving at school until students dismiss each day.
• Students’ cell phones and personal devices must be locked in their lockers and put away during the school day (8:15 am to 3:00 pm.)
• Lufkin Road Middle School is not responsible for lost or stolen devices.
• Violations of these guidelines include:
  • Any unauthorized use of cell phones or personal technology devices during the school day. 
  • Calls, Alerts, or Notifications received by cell phones that cause an audible disruption to the classroom environment. 
  • Inappropriate use of WCPSS approved devices in accordance with WCPSS Student Code of Conduct. 

Infractions

• Students will have their device confiscated and turned into the front office, which will be released to the parent/guardian upon pickup. Parents/Guardians will be notified by school staff to come retrieve the device. 
• Infractions that involve other violations with student code of conduct may result in disciplinary action and parent contact from school administration according to the WCPSS Student Code of Conduct.
