Cell Phone and
Personal Electronic Device
Student/Parent
Contract
2014-2015 School Year
Cell phones have become and increasingly important part of
our every day life. However, use of cell
phones during the school day has become a greater issue that calls for a
Supervisory Union response. The Milton
Town Supervisory Union has found that the use of cell phones and personal
electronic devices (PED) i.e.,
tablets/MP3 players by students during the school day has had an adverse effect
on classroom instruction, personal student safety and privacy, and the ability
of school officials to maintain discipline.
·
My cell phone and/or PED will remain off and out
of sight during the instructional day (7:30 a.m.
– 2:30 p.m. ) and in the buildings, including hallways, restrooms. Students will be able to access their cell
phone and/or PED during their lunch period.
·
I agree to use the device only outside the
building and only before or after school hours.
· I take full responsibility for my cell phone
(PED) use by another person. They are
not to
be shared with other students.
Failure to agree to these
conditions will result in any/all of the following:
· 1st
Offense: confiscation of cell phone
or PED. ONLY a parent may pick up a
student’s cell phone or PED. Cell phones or PEDs will not be returned to
students.
