Personal Electronic Devices
Mountain View High School wishes to provide each student and teacher a distraction free learning environment every school day. Research shows that when access to personal electronic devices (cell phones, smart watches, earbuds, tablets, gaming systems, etc.) is moderated during the school day, students are more engaged socially and academically. To ensure such a learning environment, MVHS will be implementing the following cell phone/personal electronic device policies. Thank you for your support in helping us provide a distraction free learning environment at MVHS.
Cell phones and/or any personal electronic devices may be brought to school; however, these items must remain off/silent and securely stowed away from distraction for the entire class period to ensure that the use of these devices does not disrupt the learning environment or distract yourself and others. Please remember that per Thompson School District Board Policy having personal electronic devices on campus is a privilege, please use responsibly. Mountain View High School will not be responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen personal electronic devices.
PRIDE: Be Present, Show Respect, Get Involved, Honor Diversity, Give Effort
Student Expectations:
As students enter their classrooms, their personal electronic devices should be turned off/silenced and securely stowed in a designated area or in their backpacks in order to create a focused and distraction free learning environment.
Exceptions can be made at the discretion of the teacher for academic purposes.
First Offense: The student is warned to put their cell phone away and to not use it for the remainder of the period.
Second Offense: The personal electronic device is surrendered and securely held within the classroom until the end of the class period, at which point it can be collected by the student.
Third (Additional) Offense: The personal electronic device is surrendered and securely held in the main office until the end of the school day, at which point it can be collected by the student. A referral to administration will also be made.
Note: Failure to comply with a staff member's request to surrender a cell phone or other personal electronic device will result in additional disciplinary action.
As a staff we understand that parents may need to communicate with their adolescents during the school day. Please use the main number for Mountain View High School (970-613-7800) and a staff member will relay the message.
