Mobile Communication Devices (MCDs) Mobile Communication Devices (MCDs) Mobile Communication Devices (MCDs), including phones, smartwatches, and other wearable communication tools, must be turned off or silenced and stored during the school day for all students in preschool through grade 8. Devices should remain out of sight in backpacks or other designated storage and may not be used during class time, passing periods, recess, or lunch. Middle school students may only use their MCDs during the school day when a teacher gives permission for instructional purposes, and with approval from the principal or their designee. High school students may use their devices only during non-instructional time (e.g., breaks, lunch, passing periods). During classroom instructional time, MCDs must be turned off and put away, unless a teacher gives permission for academic use. MCDs may not be used in a way that disrupts learning or violates others’ privacy. If a student uses a device in an unauthorized way, it may be confiscated and disciplinary action may be taken, especially in cases of repeated misuse. Exceptions may be made for health needs, emergencies, or when required by a student’s IEP or 504 Plan, with appropriate documentation. The district is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged devices brought to school. Please use devices responsibly and follow all school rules to support a safe and focused learning environment.
