The staff at WPCS Campus realize that we are living in the 21st Century and that many technologies, including cell phones, are readily available to our students. In order to make the best use of these technologies, while maintaining a rigorous educational environment, the following guidelines are to be used with all cell phones and electronic devices in reference to TRUSD Board Policy 5131.8.
Phones are to be turned off during the entire instructional day, NOT in vibration or silent mode, but turned entirely off.
The phone should be turned off and put away before entering campus in the morning and should not be taken out until leaving campus at the end of the school day.
Family or friends texting or calling during instructional time negatively impacts student learning and takes away from instructional activities.
Students may be reached via the office phone should parents or family wish to leave a message.
Should there ever be an emergency, the office will immediately communicate with families via our phone outreach program.
Students may use cell phones beginning at dismissal time once they are off of our campus.
Students may use cell phones with staff permission.
Phones are turned off when entering campus and should remain off. If a student needs to contact a parent, a student may ask for permission to use a school phone.
If students do not follow electronic device and cell phone policy a warning will be given.
Cell phones will be turned in and given back to students at the end of the day as a result of the second infraction of these guidelines.
If your child’s cell phone is turned in for a third time, the classroom teacher shall place the cell phone in a secure area. Arrangements will need to be made between the parent or guardian and the classroom teacher in order to retrieve the cell phone.
If infractions continue, staff members will conference with the student and family and make other arrangements for the cell phone.
Utilizing phones to photograph, video tape, or communicate with peers or adults is not necessary during the instructional school day. We want to prioritize education for our students while on site.
The school, staff, and district are NOT responsible for any lost, damaged, or stolen personal cell phone or electronic devices. The responsibility totally rests with the student should they bring a cell phone to school. In addition, NO other electronic devices such as PSP’s, Nintendo DS’s, iPODS, iPADS, tablets, etc. are to be brought to school without specific staff permission. Once again, the school and staff will NOT be responsible for lost, damage, or theft of any such items.
