PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY (PED)

PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES (PEDs):  PEDs are student-owned devices capable of cellular, Wi-Fi, and/or Bluetooth connectivity, such as but not limited to cell phones, tablets, laptops, smart watches, wireless headphones, gaming devices, smart glasses, or fitness trackers.   

 

STUDENT PED POLICY: PEDs may be brought to school by students, but must be powered off and stored off the person in backpacks upon entering the building and are to remain off and stored until leaving the building, with exceptions for approved medical needs and situations deemed necessary by administration. Secretly recording audio or video with an electronic device is strictly prohibited (Board policy KGE). 

 

The school is not responsible for stolen, lost, or damaged personal items, including PEDs. If a student needs to contact a family member while in the building, they can use either the main office or classroom phone, with permission. High school students may sign out and exit the building to use their PED to contact a family member. If a family member has a critical or urgent message for their student, they may call the school office.  

 

Building administration has the discretion to determine the use of PEDs for students participating in after-school and/or extracurricular activities while on school property or while attending school-sponsored or school-related activities on or off school property.  

  • If a student violates the policy, they may be required to turn their PED into the office, where it will be stored securely until they leave the building.
  • Repeated violations may result in further consequences and disciplinary action, including requiring a parent/guardian to retrieve the PED from the school and/or loss of privileges related to personal electronic devices.
