School District 5 Cell Phone Policy

During the school day, students are prohibited from accessing their personal electronic devices. Students may not utilize the function of electronic communication on device accessories during the school day. Students must store away and silence their devices and/or device accessories in lockers, backpacks, or otherwise as directed by the school district during the school day. Exceptions granted for other authorized reasons (i.e. emergency situations) will be determined by the school district.

This policy includes cell phones, personal computers, tablets, gaming devices, headphones, and other accessories.

All Irmo High students must wear a current picture ID badge when on District Five property. ID cards are printed on both sides with the same information.

1. IDs must be worn at all times.

2. IDs must be visible and worn outside of clothing.

3. Picture, name and barcode must be visible.

ID badges must be clearly visible and worn in front above the waist and below the neck on a breakaway lanyard. In a pocket, or under a jacket is NOT clearly visible. The ID badge may not be marked on or altered in any way; if it is damaged, a new ID will need to be purchased. A defaced ID is any badge on which the picture, name, ID #, year, barcode or grade level has been changed, altered, or obstructed.

The first ID badge is free. However, replacing lost, stolen or damaged cards costs $5.00. The replacement fee covers the cost of the materials used in reprinting and replacement lanyards.

Car riders, late arrivals, and early dismissals should be dropped off and picked up from the car rider line in front of the West Wing/Attendance area and the CFA. Enter at the light on St. Andrews Road across from the practice fields. This is the only location for student drop off/pick up. Please do not drop off students in the bus loop, behind the school, or in front of the main entrance.
