Electronic Equipment

September 12, 2011

Use of personal electronic equipment is prohibited during the school day (Middle School: 8:00 am-3:40 pm; Upper School: 8:00 am-3:00 pm).

Among the prohibited items are the following:

  • Cell phones (See Cell Phone Use)
  • PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant)
  • MP3 players and other music devices
  • Handheld video games
  • Video cameras

Permission for school day use may be granted by a faculty or staff member on a case by case basis if the equipment is needed for a specific class assignment.

Large electronic appliances such as televisions, stereos, video game systems, etc are not to be brought to school.

On the first violation, the electronic equipment will be confiscated for the day. On subsequent violations, a parent will be required to pick up the equipment in the office. Repeated failure to follow these guidelines will result in disciplinary consequences.
