Cell Phone Policy

📵 Cell Phone & Device Policy 📵
To keep our classrooms focused and distraction-free, Lamar School follows Tennessee State Law and WCDE policy on student device use:

🔒 Before School Starts:
All devices must be powered OFF before entering the building.
• Applies to:
 📱 Cell Phones
 ⌚ Smartwatches
 💻 Tablets
 🎮 Gaming Devices
 🔊 Any personal tech used for communication or entertainment

📚 During the School Day:
• Devices go in the assigned pocket as students enter each classroom.
• Devices remain stored throughout the day and may only be retrieved at the end of class.
• Devices must stay powered off and out of sight until the student is dismissed to the car line or bus.
Unauthorized use = not allowed.

🚨 Consequences:
1️⃣ First Offense: Device is confiscated and taken to the office. A parent/guardian must pick it up.
2️⃣ Second Offense: Same as above + student must check their device into the office each morning and retrieve it at dismissal.
3️⃣ Third Offense: Same as above + student may no longer bring the device to school.

Let’s work together to help all Lamar students stay focused, respectful, and ready to learn!
