Student Handbook
Important to Know
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Students are to put their electronic devices into the pocket organizer when they enter the classroom, and teachers will use the organizer to take attendance. Electronic devices are to be kept in the pocket organizer during class time except for teacher initiated academic purposes. If students violate this expectation, the device will be taken by the teacher and turned into administration where the phone will be secured in the vice principals’ office. On the first offense, the student may pick up the phone after school. On the second and subsequent offenses, a parent/guardian must then retrieve the device from the vice principals’ office between the hours of 7:30am – 3:30pm, and the student may receive administrative consequences. If a student refuses to give his/her electronic device to a staff member when asked to do so, the student will be referred to the vice principals’ office. Note: All personal items are the sole responsibility of the owner. We encourage students to leave valuable items at home. If there is an emergency, parents/guardians can reach students through one of our offices, by calling 916-971-7430.
