Cell Phones and Electronic Devices

The appropriate use of cell phones and other electronic devices will be permitted before and after school hours and in the hallways during student pass time between periods as well as in the lunch room during the student’s lunch period. Students may also use electronic devices in the classroom at the teacher’s discretion. The use of cell phones and other electronic devices for inappropriate reasons while on campus, including cheating, filming/pictures without permission, sexting, harassment, or any use that is inappropriate or in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, District Policy or is disruptive to a positive school learning environment, will be cause for disciplinary action. Fremont High School prohibits the use of cell phones, digital media devices, and other individual technology devices during class periods unless the teacher allows them for learning purposes. These devices include, but not limited to, cell phones, headphones, MP3 players, e-readers, laptops, handheld games, cameras, etc. Students are not permitted to leave class to use a cell phone or electronic device. It will be considered a violation if the student’s cell phone or electronic device disrupts the class. Students are expected to cooperate in handing over cell phones and digital media devices when requested. If a student chooses not to comply, the student is “insubordinate,” and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
