GRMS Cell Phone/Device Policy
Possession of cell phones, or other electronic devices, such as Airpods, smart watches, or portable speakers, by a student at school is a privilege. Any student who fails to abide by district or school rules may lose that privilege. Cell phones or other electronic devices are permitted on campus, as long as the following expectations are met:
- Cell phones/devices should be put away and silenced or turned off by 8:15am.
- Cell phones/devices should remain put away throughout the school day. Students may access their cell phone/device if given permission from a teacher or staff member.
- Students may use the phone in the front office to contact a parent/guardian during the school day if needed.
- Cell phones/devices may not be used for any reason in the locker rooms, restrooms or hallways.
- Cell phones should not be used for recording or photographing students and staff members, especially without permission or consent.
- Devices may be turned back on at 2:45pm.
If a student violates the cell phone/electronics expectations, the device may be confiscated.
- If a device is confiscated during class time, the teacher or staff member may choose to keep the device for the class period and will return it to the student at the end of the period.
- Regardless of when a device is confiscated, the teacher or staff member may choose to have the device held in the main office until the end of the day.
