PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
At Life Skills Academy, we encourage students to learn responsible and appropriate use of their electronic devices both in the classroom and within the community. Students are permitted to use their devices under the following circumstances:
- Communication usage
- Transportation routes
- Timers
- Behavior Plan supports
- Wellness
- Teacher-directed instruction with the device
Students may use personal electronic and communication devices during school-sponsored activities outside the school day. They are also allowed during passing time, lunch, and on the yellow bus.
Personal Electronic Devices are to be charged at home, not at school.
In cases where students refuse to comply with the expectation by not putting their devices away during instructional time, including job sites, the following consequences will be enforced:
1st Offense: The device will be stored securely in an administrator’s office and can be picked up by the student at the end of the day.
2nd Offense: The device will be placed in an administrator’s office and picked up by a parent or guardian at the end of the school day.
Additional Consequences: Schools may implement further disciplinary actions if deemed necessary.
