All students should participate in the academic environment free of distraction. Each student has access to a chromebook as an instructional tool. It is a school-wide expectation that students’ cell phones are out of sight and out of reach during class time. Tuscarora is enforcing this policy:
To promote undivided focus on instruction
To practice responsible digital citizenship
To maintain academic honesty
To support school safety
Electronic devices may only be used during lunch and between classes when authorized by a school administrator. They must be silenced and stored (out of sight) while in classrooms, the media center, the gymnasium, restrooms, and locker rooms for the entire school day, except for approved instructional or medical use, or an emergency.
Personal earbuds/headsets may not be used during instructional time and shall not be worn when phone use is prohibited.
Taking pictures and filming without permission is prohibited.
