Cell Phone and other Electronic Device Policy

To ensure the safety and security of our students and to prevent disruptions to school activities, the School Site Council adopted the following cell phone policy on January 31, 2022:

 

Mobile Device Policy (Cell Phones, Smartwatches, AirPods, Bluetooth Devices, etc.)

“It is the policy of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to prohibit the use of cellular phones, pagers, or any electronic signaling device by students on campus during normal school hours or school activities, excluding the students’ lunchtime or nutrition breaks unless the school site council has adopted a stricter policy.”

These items must be turned off and remain out of sight at all times, including recess and lunch-recess, from the time the student enters campus, including all after-school programs.  Failure to comply will result in the confiscation of the item and returned according to the chart below.  Students who bring cellphones to school do so at their own risk.  The school is not responsible for lost or stolen cell phones or electronic devices.

Smartwatches must be on airplane mode only during the entire school day. Wired/wireless earbuds and headphones may not be worn at all during the school day.
