Personal Communication Devices and Phone Use

*A “personal communication device” is a device that emits an audible signal, vibrates, displays a message, or otherwise
summons or delivers a communication to the possessor.
*Students shall not possess personal communication devises such as pagers and cellular phones on their person. This shall
include backpacks, lockers, purses, and etc. while on school property during regular school hours.
*If a student is discovered in possession of a personal communication device on school property during the regular day the device
will be confiscated on the first offense and taken to the principal’s office. A parent may come to reclaim the phone from the
principal. If the phone is taken a second time during the school year, it will be sent to the principal’s office and kept for the
remainder of the school term.
*We, the Warren County School System and Eastside School are not responsible for lost or stolen cell phones.
*School phones are for emergency use only and students may use the phone in the office with a phone pass from the
homeroom teacher. Emergency calls do no include forgotten lunch money, forgotten items, permission to stay after
school, or permission to go home with another student. Teachers, students, and parents are expected to make
arrangements for after school activities or to cancel afternoon activities in advance- not the day of the activity.
