This document outlines the Personal Electronic Device (PED) policy for middle and high school students, aimed at establishing clear expectations for maintaining a safe, focused learning environment. It addresses various types of personal devices, including smartwatches, tablets, laptops, and gaming devices, clarifying the rules surrounding their use during school hours. For middle school (grades 6-8), all personal devices are prohibited during the school day, requiring storage out of sight. In high school (grades 9-12), limited access is permitted during passing times and lunch, but devices must remain off during instructional periods. The document emphasizes the importance of minimizing distractions and maximizing classroom engagement, while also providing guidelines for responsible use, communication protocols, and acknowledgment of exceptions such as IEP accommodations. The overall goal is to ensure student focus and maintain a respectful classroom atmosphere.
