Cell Phone and Other Communication Devises

Using cellular phones during an emergency situation can create hazardous conditions including the distribution of false information, distraction from directions.

Therefore, the CDC does not allow the use of cell phones by students in the building or at instructional sites during class time.

If a cell phone is visible or audible, the student will be given a warning.

If the student disregards the warning or the cell phone is seen or heard again, the cell phone will be confiscated and the student may pick it up in the office at the end of the school day. Teachers will write a referral and contact the parents.

Detention times will be assigned to students for repeated instances.

Under no circumstances shall students use cellular phones during an emergency except under the direct instruction of their instructors or the administration.

The student who possesses a cellular phone shall assume all responsibility for its care. At no time shall the Southwest Vermont Regional Technical School District be responsible for preventing theft, loss, or damage to cell phones brought onto its property.

IPODS and Electronic Entertainment Devices (including walkman, DVD players, and all electronic music/game devices)
These devices shall not be seen or heard in classrooms or program spaces. If seen or heard, they will be viewed the same as cell phones. Teachers may exercise discretion for their use during certain activities when students are working independently. Ask your teacher before using these devices in your classroom or program area. The CDC is not liable for any loss, damage or loss from theft of these devices if brought to the CDC.
