Cell Phones & Other Communication Devices Page 10

The District recognizes that there are personnel electronic

devices that have educational applications such as calculators, voice records, digital cameras, and musical listening devices. In some instances a “smart phone” may include applications that permit these functions. These devices shall be allowed to be used in classrooms only when they are included as part of a lesson under the direction of a teacher. Therefore to prevent such disruption, the display and/or use by students of cellular phones (including “smart phones”), pagers, 2-way communication systems other electronic devices, and/or their accessories shall be prohibited from the time students arrive at school until the end of the regular school day, unless specifically permitted to be used by a teacher or administrator.

So Socia cial l Med Media ia- Pa Page ge 18 18

Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube have increased the ability for communication between and among school community constituent groups. The use of such media can create an increase in communication and access to information and interaction. With the popularity of Social Media as a means of staying connected in today’s world, faculty, staff, students, and parents are advised to clearly distinguish between personal and professional communications in order to maintain confidentiality and professionalism and in order to avoid potential conflicts or the appearance of impropriety.
