ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Cell phones and electronics

Menomonie Middle School strongly discourages students from bringing any cell phones or electronic devices to school.  MMS does not assume responsibility for articles that are lost, stolen or damaged.  If you bring an electronic device to school it should be turned off and stored in your locker prior to the start of the school day.  Unless directed by a teacher/staff member, you cannot use an electronic device during the school day.  (7:43 - 3:05)

 

Cell phone use/guidelines:

 

  1. Cell phones are allowed in the commons before and after school.
  2. Cell phones must be turned off and placed in their school assigned pod locker from 7:43-3:05.
  3. After the bell rings at 3:05 pm, students may use their cell phone; however, cell phone use is not permitted in locker rooms or bathrooms.

 

Violations of Cell phone use/guidelines will result in the following:

 

1st violation - Cell phone removed from student.  Phone can be picked up in office at the end of the day.

2nd violation- Cell phone removed from student.  Parent must pick up phone in the office.

3rd violation- Cell phone removed from student.  Parent meeting with student and principal with possible disciplinary action.

           

Principals are authorized to establish school rules as long as the district acceptable use policy (Rule 362) is followed for limited, non-disruptive use of electronic devices during the school day, in the school building or during school activities for safety, medical, vocational or other legitimate reasons.
