Moore MS - Away for the Day-Electronic Devices

Moore Middle School will become a world-class school where students acquire the knowledge and skills to become academically independent thinkers, life-long learners, and leaders in the local and global community.

 

Moore Middle School has an “Away for the Day” cell phone and electronic device policy.

• With the implementation of 1:1 Chromebooks, there is no longer any need for a student to use a cell phone as an instructional device.
• Upon arrival, students are expected to silence/turn off their phones and store them in their backpacks where they will remain for the duration of the school day.
• Students are not to keep cell phones or earbuds/headphones on their person. Cell phones and other devices should not be visible or in use during the school day. 
• If a student needs to contact home for any reason, they may do so from any school office phone.
• Students assume all responsibility for any personal electronic devices brought to school.
• If a personal electronic device of any kind is lost, stolen, or damaged, the school is not responsible for restitution nor is the school obligated to investigate.
