• Cell Phone Policy

         Delta Charter recognizes that cell phones have become a vital part of our lives. While cell phones provide many potential positive attributes to schools, we

    also continually grapple with the negative aspects of this technology in the school setting. In light of the fact that Delta Charter possesses the technology

    provided by cell phones in other acceptable forms, cell phones (and other electronic devices such as Apple watches, etc.) are not allowed to be brought on

    campus during the school day. Students who choose not to follow the cell phone procedure and bring their phone on campus will have their cell phone

    confiscated and be assigned a disciplinary consequence.

         The school retains the right, and will, conduct random, unannounced searches throughout the school year. Any student refusing to produce a phone when

    requested by school personnel will receive an immediate disciplinary consequence. The school is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged cell phones. We

    will continue to follow the established cell phone consequence policy as listed below.

     

    Cell Phone Discipline Procedure:

    1st Offense—Student will be assigned one day of afternoon detention and the phone will be kept for five (5) school days. After five (5) school days, a parent

    must pick up the cell phone from the appropriate principal.

     

    2nd Offense—Student will be assigned two days of afternoon detention and the phone will be kept for ten (10) school days. After ten (10) school days, a parent

    must pick up the cell phone from the appropriate principal.

     

    3rd Offense—Student will receive a one-day suspension and the phone will be kept until the end of the nine-week grading period. At the end of the nine-week

    grading period, a parent must pick up the cell phone from the appropriate principal.
