As policy in the student handbook page 14:
Personal Electronic Devices
(Summary- for complete policy see JFCK & JFCK-R)
Headsets or personal listening devices may be used before/after school, but may not be used during the day without teacher permission. Students will receive disciplinary consequences if they have headphones/PED’s on during classes without permission from the teacher. PEDs should be turned off and not visible during the school day, except when students are in their own lunch, or have received teacher direction to use the phone. If these devices are used without permission they will be confiscated and turned into the main office, and a parent/guardian will need to come to school to pick it up.
The use of the camera/video function on any type of PED is strictly prohibited on all school property, including locker rooms, restrooms, classrooms, school hallways, and on school buses/vans, except at public events or as directed by a teacher as part of a classroom assignment. If there is any question of inappropriate use, PEDs may be subject to search. Evidence of illegal activities involving PEDs may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities, and a building administrator may give a device to law enforcement authorities upon request.
Students may request special permission to have a beeper or phone for emergency reasons. The school will not take responsibility if these devices are lost or stolen*. Laser pointers are not allowed in the school. Detentions may be issued for violations of the guidelines outlined above.
* All portable electronic equipment should be registered with Officer Maher to support students when items are lost or inadvertently taken.
School computers are not the personal property of students, so students have no expectation of privacy in the use of these school computers. Violation of the Board’s Student Computer and Internet Use policy and rules may result in loss of computer / internet privileges and disciplinary action as appropriate. If you have any questions about the guidelines, please contact your child’s teacher.
The Windham network allows users to access a wide range of information sources, both local and worldwide, while at school and at home. Students will have access to school, college, and university libraries, information from a variety of sources, software of all types, discussion groups on a wide variety of topics, and much more. This use is a privilege, not a right. Students may lose this privilege and be subject to further disciplinary/legal action for inappropriate use.
