CRESCENTA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL
ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY

As technology evolves we strive to use the most up-to-date resources to improve instruction and learning.  At the same time, new technologies can cause distractions to the learning environment.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine if a device is being used to listen to music, send a text message, make a phone call, surf the Internet, photograph an exam or all of the above.  Teachers are working hard to deliver meaningful instruction and should not have to divert their attention to determining if a device is being used appropriately or not.  In an effort to eliminate distractions from the learning environment, no electronic devices (phones, ipods, MP3 players, game systems, etc.) may be used during the school day (6:55 a.m. to 3:03 p.m.) on the school campus, and these devices must be turned off and put away.  If a student has an electronic device out for any reason, it may be confiscated by a teacher or other staff member.  If confiscated, the consequences are as follows:
