Please remember that the school is not responsible for any valuable items brought to campus. Electronic devices (especially CD Players, MP3 players, and iPods, etc.) and games are easily stolen and should not be carried by any student on campus. Any items of this nature are brought to school will be confiscated and returned only to the parent. Devices that are not claimed by the last day of school in June will be discarded. Because these items are not allowed on campus,
Electronic Devices, Valuable Items Bikes and Skateboards Electronic Devices CD players, MP3 players, iPods, and other electronic devices are not allowed on campus. These items are often disruptive and are among the most lost, stolen and broken items belonging to students. Students are not to bring these items to school. Any items of this nature that are brought to school will be confiscated and returned only to the parent. The Education Code set forth by the State Department of Education restricts electronic devices. Because these items are not allowed on campus, Sycamore Junior High School is NOT responsible for lost, stolen, or broken items. We will not investigate the theft of these items for students who violate this policy. Valuables Students should not bring large amounts of money, trading cards, collectibles, expensive clothing or any thing of significant value to school. The questions you should ask yourself before bringing valuables to school are, “Will this item attract the attention of others?” and “Will I be overly concerned if this item is lost, stolen, or broken?” If the answer is, “Yes,” do not bring it to school! Bikes and Skateboards However, vandalism and theft should be reported to the Assistant Principal’s office. Students are not to ride bikes, skateboards, or scooters on campus.
Cell phones are a major problem on school campuses across the country. Ringing cell phones are disruptive during class time Camera phones and text messaging are used to cheat on quizzes and tests. Phones are stolen by other students. Cell phones loaned to other students may be lost or broken. Cell phones have also exacerbated crises situations because students have called parents and caused undue fear and apprehension and have reported conflicting information In these situations student safety is compromised The use of cell phones at school is detrimental to the academic climate because it takes valuable time away from instruction and creates disciplinary problems. Cell phones are among the most STOLEN items on campus. The time spent investigating stolen phones is enormous and disruptive. The school will NOT investigate stolen cell phones Their security is the sole responsibility of/he student All cell phones must be turned off and kept in backpacks They must not be visible Students may not use their cell phones between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and the final bell at the end of the day Using a cell phone as a CLOCK is not an excuse to have it out. Phones that “Fall” out of pockets or backpacks will be confiscated. If a student is using a cell phone (ANY OF ITS FUNCTIONS) for any reason during the restricted time, the following consequences will be imposed:
THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY Students who have cell phones confiscated more than once will be assigned disciplinary consequences. We realize that having to pick up a student’s phone may be inconvenient. We recommend you discuss this policy with your student in order to avoid this problem. We also ask you to keep in mind that the use of cell phones are not only disruptive in class, they are an inconvenience to teachers and staff that must stop what they are doing to correct the problem, label the phone, and be responsible for their safe keeping. Confiscated phones will be labeled with the students name and kept in the school safe until the parent takes possession. If you need to contact your student during school hours, you may leave a message in the office. The message will be delivered to the student. Students may contact parents through the office.
