CELLULAR
PHONES, PAGERS, AND BEEPERS
The District prohibits the use of cellular
phones and pagers/beepers at all schools during the instructional
school day. Middle school and high school students may
possess cellular phones and pagers/beepers. However, such
devices shall not be visible and shall remain off during
the instructional school day.
CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
A variety of school sponsored clubs, activities,and
performing groups are available in each school. Students
are encouraged to participate in those that they find interesting.
Most organizations engage in community service projects,
academic competitions, leadership development, performances,
or career exploration activities that enhance the academic
and personal growth of students. These activities also
build pride, school-spirit, and a sense of community between
and among students.
Membership in a club composed of students
who take in other members on the basis of the decision
of the members, rather than upon the free choice of any
pupil in the school who is qualified under the rules of
the school, is an infraction of Policy.
Parents/guardians are urged to insist that
any organization to which a student belongs is devoted
to wholesome purposes and sponsored by responsible adult
leaders.
