Personal Electronic Devices

To ensure a focused and distraction-free learning environment, the use of cell phones is prohibited during the school day. Cell phones must be turned off and put away at all times. Smart watches and similar wearable devices should be placed in airplane or school mode. As a reminder, students should only access the internet through district-provided networks during the school day. Unauthorized use will result in progressive disciplinary consequences. Exceptions to this rule may apply based on accommodations included in a student’s 504, IEP or health plan. Parents needing to contact students during school hours are encouraged to contact the main office at 314-854-6400, and the message will be delivered to your student.
