Dear CNEC Families—
This is a reminder that all intermediate and high schools in Clovis Unified will be working together to enforce an electronic device policy that is meant to improve student learning, increase social engagement, and support teachers in the classroom. Fundamentally, this policy prohibits students from using electronic devices during class time. The following provides an overview of the rules that students will be expected to follow for the 2024 – 2025 school year:
Student Cell Phone and Electronic Device Use Expectations
Students are prohibited from using electronic devices, including but not limited to cell phones, while in classrooms.
- Electronic devices are to be turned off and stored while in classrooms and during class time.
- Teachers have the right, for educational purposes, to allow students to use an electronic device, including a cell phone, during class time.
- Cell phones are not to be used in restrooms, locker rooms, or other spaces where students have an expectation of privacy.
- Listening to music and/or the use of earbuds, headphones, portable speakers, or other audio devices is not allowed during class time (from bell to bell).
- Using cell phones to make audio and visual recordings is not permitted on campus unless under the direction of a staff member.
- Using cell phones to post on social media is not permitted unless under the direction of a staff member.
- Students who violate the cell phone policy are subject to the device being confiscated. (Confiscated devices will need to be picked up from the Student Services Office at the end of the day.)
- The school/District is not responsible for lost or stolen devices and will not investigate such instances.
- For students wishing to contact a parent or guardian during class/instructional time may use a school/office phone with permission from school personnel.
- In the case of an emergency, students may be allowed to contact a parent or guardian under the supervision of a staff member.
We hope that you will support our efforts to minimize distractions and ensure that our classrooms function as optimal learning environments.
Sincerely,
CNEC Administration
