Reminder about Cell Phones, Smart Watches, and Other Electronic Devices

This is a friendly reminder to parents and students that no cell phones are allowed in the classrooms. Students may wear smart watches at school; however, students may not use their watches during the school day for text messaging, phone calls, or any other use unrelated to school. For more information, please review the guidelines outlined in our WCA Parent/Student Handbook.

Parent/Student Handbook - Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices

All student cell phones must remain in backpacks or lockers throughout the school day. Students are encouraged to power off their cell phones during the school day. The school day begins when students arrive at school in the morning. This includes eating breakfast in the cafeteria and before school in the backyard. If a phone call needs to be made, students must have permission from a staff member to use the classroom or office phone. At the end of the day, students may take cell phones out of their backpacks after 3:15 p.m. when they are outside of the building.

  • Smart Watches: Students may wear smart watches at school; however, students may not use their watches during the school day for text messaging, phone calls, or any other use unrelated to school. The above cell phone guidelines must be followed for communication.

Other Devices: Devices such as tablets, Kindles, etc., must be kept in backpacks or lockers throughout the school day unless permission is given to use them by a staff member. Student-owned devices are not permitted on school wireless networks without prior permission from the administration.
