Reed Middle School Cellular Phone/Electronics Policy

Cell phones, Airpods, Ipods, radios, cameras, tablets, and handheld game devices are not permitted in our hallways and may be confiscated by building security and administration. If a student chooses to bring a cell phone to school it is their responsibility to have the phone on silent and follow classroom rules. Staff members may decide in each domain what their rules and expectations are for electronic devices. In all other areas of the school, with the exception of the cafeterias, cell phone usage is prohibited. Inappropriate use of the cell phone (taking pictures, audio and video recordings, texting, social media sites or other sites) in any area of the school will result in the student’s phone being confiscated for a parent pick-up. Inappropriate use or refusal to give the cell phone to a staff member or any other electronic device or accessory may result in ISS/OSS. Students who send pictures, videos, or recordings to other electronic devices that may result in the embarrassment, humiliation, and/or harassment of others will result in Detention/ISS/OSS depending on the severity of the situation and repeated infraction. Other possible consequences are superintendent’s hearing/Change of Placement and the possibility of involvement of legal authorities.
