MJHS Positive Behavioral Expectations: Use of Cell Phones and Applications
by Julie Meinhardt
Be Safe
Students are
permitted to appropriately use their cell phones and applications
before school, during lunch while they are in the “dining area” and
after school.
Students will secure cell phones “out of sight” in restrooms and
locker rooms as cell phone use is prohibited in these
locations.
Students who wish to use their cell phones at the permitted times
must first register their cell phone numbers with Ms.
Scarbrough.
Students will only use camera, video, recording, etc. applications
with the expressed permission of those persons being photographed,
videoed, recorded, etc.
Be
Respectful
Students will set cell phones on vibrate or silent
during the time they are permitted to use them at school.
Students will turn off/silence and secure their cell phones during
the time they are not permitted to use them at school.
Be
Responsible
Students bring cell phones to school at their own
risk.
Students are solely responsible for the use of their cell phones
and applications during the time the students are at school or any
other time they are representing the school.
Be a
Learner
Students are welcome to use their cell phone and
applications to organize assignment and activity information (due
dates, tests, practice and game schedules, service point deadlines,
celebration events, etc.) outside of school on their own
time.
With prior teacher approval, students will be allowed to use
their cell phones and applications for specified educational
purposes during the class period.
Consequences:
Students are permitted to appropriately use their cell phones
and applications as positive communication tools before school,
during lunch while they are in the “dining area” and after
school.
If a student does not meet the Positive Behavioral Expectations the
following will occur:
1st Offense: Warning. Phone is confiscated and may be picked
up at the end of the day in the office.
2nd Offense: Phone is confiscated, the phone may be picked
up in the office by a parent and phone privileges are suspended for
one week. The length of the suspension of phone privileges may be
changed at the discretion of the Principal.
3rd Offense: Phone is confiscated, the phone may be picked
up in the office by a parent and phone privileges are suspended for
the remainder of the year or a time period specified by the
principal.
