Cell Phone Use Policy
Kid's Community College has a very well defined policy on possession and use of cell phones while
present any time on the school's campus. Although Administration fully understands the
necessity for students, faculty and staff to have cellular phones, because cellular phone
usage disrupts the normal instructional day the administration shall require restraint from
cellular phone usage. Students may have in their possession a cell phone, but it must be
kept in their backpack throughout the entire school day. The cell phone shall not be
visible or audible.
Usage of the cell phone is strictly prohibited during the school day unless specifically
permitted by school staff to do so. This includes no picture taking with camera phones or
text messaging. Any student found with a cell phone visible and/or in use will have the
cell phone confiscated and only a parent may claim the cell phone. Should a student need
to utilize a phone for school related business, access will be provided in the main office.
Students are strictly prohibited from using school phones located in areas outside of the
main office.
Cell phones may be used by students after exiting the school building and following the
3:30 pm dismissal with permission from staff.
The following consequences will be enforced with students who violate this rule:
First offense = the phone will be confiscated and returned to the parent. A warning will
be issued to the student.
Second offense = confiscation of the phone, and a one day detention will be served by
the student.
Third offense= confiscation of the phone, and one week of detention is issued to the
student.
Fourth offense = the phone will be confiscated and held by the school anytime it is
brought on campus for the remainder of the year. The student will be issued In-School
Suspension for up to two weeks after school
