Personal Electronic Device Policy
Please pay close attention to the following information as it is a shift from past practice at Briggs!
Dear BMS Families,
Last week, our staff took time to thoroughly review and clarify expectations surrounding our updated Electronic Devices Policy with all students. We want to ensure that every student fully understands the guidelines and the reasons behind them.
Starting Monday, September 8, we bean enforcing this policy consistently throughout the school day.
At BMS, your child’s academic and social success is our top priority. To protect the learning environment and ensure that students remain focused during school hours, all personal electronic devices must be powered off and securely stored during the entire school day, from 8:15 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.
In accordance with Executive Order 25-09, students are prohibited from using personal electronic devices on campus during the school day. This includes—but is not limited to—cell phones, smartwatches, wireless earbuds/headphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming devices. Devices must be stored in a zipped backpack or secured classroom storage. The device cannot be placed in a student’s pocket or on their person. The district is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to personal property.
We understand that communication is important. If your student needs to contact you during the day, they may use the student phone in the main office during passing periods or with staff permission. Likewise, if you need to reach your student, you may call the Briggs office at (541) 744-6350, or email.
Students using an electronic device during the school day will face disciplinary action.
The first time a student violates this policy their phone will be brought to the office to be picked up at the end of the student’s day on campus and will be documented with a minor referral.
Future violations will require a parent/guardian to retrieve the personal electronic device and will be documented with a major referral.
Further violations will result in a technology contract that will require students to proactively secure their phone in Student Services each day.
BMS staff requests that parents and students honor our desire to preserve the integrity of the learning environment and support our decision to discourage the use of personal electronic devices that may disrupt the lesson, classmates, and the teacher.
