CELL PHONES and BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (B.Y.O.D.)

We are officially a B.Y.O.D. school. This means, students, may bring and use their own
devices in classes daily, upon teacher discretion. Inappropriate use will result in
consequences via teacher and/or school. For a daily tech grade (not mandatory), students
will place their devices face down on the top of the globe on their desks. This is worth 2
points /day for an extra 100 point grade each nine weeks.
