SRHS Cell Phone Policy

Cellular Phones, Pagers, and Other Electronic Signaling Devices* Students may only use cell phones, pagers, and other electronic signaling devices on campus before school, during lunch, and after school. These devices must be kept out of sight and turned off during the instructional program. Unauthorized use of such devices, including issues of academic honesty, disrupts the instructional program and distracts from the learning environment. Therefore, unauthorized use is grounds for confiscation of the device by school officials, including classroom teachers. Confiscated devices will be given to the administration and may be returned to the student, parent or guardian. Repeated unauthorized use may lead to disciplinary action. If a student refuses to give the cell phone or any electronic device to the teacher, the matter will be referred to the vice principal for additional consequences (i.e. detention, Saturday school, suspension). *School personnel, including school police, do not have resources to investigate instances of lost or stolen property unless suspect information is provided. School Police will not conduct a police investigation or take a police report.
