In alignment with California State Laws and Desert Sands Unified School District policies, our school has implemented the following cell phone guidelines to maintain a focused and respectful learning environment:

1. Cell Phone Storage and Use:

• Students are required to keep their cell phones silent and stored in their backpacks during the school day.

• Exception: Students may use their phones responsibly during passing periods and lunch break.

2. Cell Phone Use During Instructional Time:

• Cell phone use for any purpose, including texting, calling, browsing, or gaming, is strictly prohibited during instructional minutes.

• Unauthorized use of cell phones during class time will result in confiscation.

• This includes instructional minutes spent out of class with a pass to another location (e.g., restroom or library).

3. Confiscation Procedure:

• If a student is found using their phone during instructional minutes, the phone will be confiscated by security/administration and securely stored in the school office.

• Parent/Guardian Pickup: Confiscated phones must be picked up by a parent or guardian during office hours. Phones will not be returned directly to students.

4. Accountability and Expectations:

• Students are expected to adhere to this policy as part of creating a respectful and focused learning environment.

• Repeated violations of the policy may result in additional consequences as outlined in the student handbook.

We thank students and families for their cooperation in supporting a distraction-free educational environment while allowing for appropriate use during non-instructional times. For questions or concerns, please contact the school administration.

En alineación con las leyes del estado de California y las políticas del Distrito Escolar Unificado Desert Sands, nuestra escuela ha implementado las siguientes pautas para teléfonos celulares para mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje enfocado y respetuoso:

Almacenamiento y uso del teléfono celular:

Se requiere que los estudiantes mantengan sus teléfonos celulares en silencio y guardados en sus mochilas durante el día escolar.

Excepción: Los estudiantes pueden usar sus teléfonos de manera responsable durante los períodos de transición y el almuerzo.

Uso del teléfono celular durante el tiempo de instrucción:

El uso del teléfono celular para cualquier propósito, incluidos mensajes de texto, llamadas, navegación o juegos, está estrictamente prohibido durante los minutos de instrucción.

El uso no autorizado de teléfonos celulares durante el horario de clase resultará en su confiscación.

Esto incluye los minutos de instrucción pasados ​​fuera de clase con un pase para otro lugar (por ejemplo, el baño o la biblioteca).

Procedimiento de confiscación:

Si se encuentra a un estudiante usando su teléfono durante los minutos de instrucción, el teléfono será confiscado por seguridad/administración y almacenado de forma segura en la oficina de la escuela.

Recogida de padres/tutores: los teléfonos confiscados deben ser recogidos por un padre o tutor durante el horario de oficina. Los teléfonos no se devolverán directamente a los estudiantes.

Responsabilidad y expectativas:

Se espera que los estudiantes cumplan con esta política como parte de la creación de un ambiente de aprendizaje respetuoso y enfocado.

Las violaciones repetidas de la política pueden resultar en consecuencias adicionales como se describe en el manual del estudiante.

Agradecemos a los estudiantes y las familias por su cooperación para apoyar un entorno educativo libre de distracciones y al mismo tiempo permitir el uso apropiado durante los momentos no educativos. Si tiene preguntas o inquietudes, comuníquese con la administración de la escuela.
