Monroe Cell Phone Use Policy

Click here for a .pdf of the Cell Phone Policy in English and Spanish.

Cellular Phones/Electronic Devices

In an effort to promote appropriate use of technology, while keeping the integrity of the classroom instruction intact, the MMS cell phone/electronic device policy will allow students to use their cell phones/electronic devices* only during designated times throughout the day.

Designated times: before/after school, and during break and lunch.
Prohibited times: during passing periods and in class, unless a teacher has given permission to the student to use the device for academic purposes. Cell phones must be turned off or placed on silent and put away during these times.  Headphones may not be visible during instructional time or passing periods, unless given permission by the teacher.

Teachers may permit use of electronic devices for academic activities related to curriculum and will notify students when this type of use is authorized.

When a device is in use in the classroom, students WILL NOT:
  • Answer any text message or phone call
  • Access or play any game or access any entertainment site on their device
  • Access or use any application app on their device unless expressly instructed to by the instructor
  • Access any type of mobile web browsing for any reason unless directed by the instructor
*These activities are NEVER permitted:
  • Using social media of any kind (i.e. Instagram, Kik, etc) while on campus
  • Taking any picture or video that the instructor has not expressly asked you to take.
  • Uploading any picture or video taken on campus to any social media site or website
  • Sending any picture or video taken on campus to any person, including yourself
  • Taking any picture, video, or text any class assignments or assessments without staff permission
Due to the evolving nature of emerging technologies, additional rules and regulations may be added throughout the school year.

There will be consequences when devices are used inappropriately.
1st offense: Warning. Student will be reminded about acceptable use.
2nd offense: Device will be confiscated* and held in the office until the end of the day.
3rd offense: Device will be confiscated, held in the office, and returned to the parent/guardian.
4th offense: Student will be required to check-in the device to the office before the start of the school day and check it out at the end of the school day

*Refusal to provide cell phone/electronic device to any school staff will be considered defiance and result in appropriate consequences.
