Students are permitted to possess personal devices (and device accessories) at school. Students must keep them silenced and put away between morning and afternoon bells. For the purpose of this policy, a device is “put away” when it is out of sight and not easily accessible (e.g., stored in a locker, backpack, or bag.) Students may not display, use, or make devices visible during this time period unless one of these exceptions applies: 

1. 504, IEP, IHP, translation services, approved by admin, or safety plan. 

2. Staff may authorize brief use for communication with someone outside the school.

3. Students must ask permission in advance and must honor any specific directions from staff regarding the use and length of time.
