Electronic Devices/Use of Technology

Cambridge-Isanti Schools has a goal of empowering a community to be effective lifelong learners with the use of ideas, information, and technology. The use of cell phones and other electronic devices are only allowed at certain times and inappropriate use will have consequences.

Students are not to use any cell phones or wearable technology devices during the school day unless granted permission by a staff member.  Cell phones devices are to be kept in student backpacks in their locker at all times during the school day. The school is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged technology devices.  Students may get permission from a staff member to use the classroom phone if the need arises.

Technology Devices

Devices are not to be used during class time unless the teacher has given explicit permission.  Consequences for improper use of electronic devices may include confiscation of the device; parents may be notified and/or required to retrieve the electronic device.  Continual misuse will include more significant disciplinary consequences and longer confiscation.

Laser Pointers

Laser pointers are prohibited from school. 

Camera Cell Phones

Cameras are prohibited from any classroom, restroom, locker room, or any location where students and staff have a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” A student caught improperly using any telecommunication device to take or transmit photographic images may face an immediate suspension, loss of privileges, and may be recommended for expulsion. Students are reminded that any inappropriate use of cell phones for the purpose of using text messaging to harass or threaten others, or to plagiarize, copy or otherwise cheat academically is subject to the hazing and harassment policy and will result in disciplinary action.
