Possession and Use of Personal Telecommunications Devices, Including Mobile Telephones
For safety purposes, the district permits students to possess personal mobile telephones; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing, unless they are being used for approved instructional purposes. A student must have approval to possess other telecommunications devices such as netbooks, laptops, tablets, or other portable computers. The use of mobile telephones or any device capable of capturing images or recording fights is strictly prohibited in all areas of the school including locker rooms and restrooms areas while at school or at a school-related or schoolsponsored event. If a student uses a telecommunications device without authorization during the school day, the device will be confiscated. The parent may pick up the confiscated telecommunications device from the principal’s office for a fee of $15.
Unacceptable and Inappropriate Use of Technology Resources:
Students are prohibited from possessing, sending, forwarding, posting, accessing, or displaying electronic messages that are abusive, obscene, sexually oriented, threatening, harassing, damaging to another’s reputation, or illegal. This prohibition also applies to conduct off school property, whether the equipment used to send such messages is district-owned or personally owned, if it results in a substantial disruption to the educational environment.
During the 2024-2025 school year, at Rolling Hills Engineering Academy teachers and campus staff will plan, manage, and execute as we address how teaching and learning will occur on our campus. Our ultimate goal is student academic achievement and social-emotional well-being so we will be intentional about what we do daily to ensure students succeed both academically and socially.
