his/her cell phone in the phone caddy in class or does not have it in his/her book bag and the phone is out

suspension. Failure to surrender a cell phone, or other device listed above, upon the request of a staff

when emergencies arise. Cell phone regulations during extracurricular activities will be determined by each
sponsor or coach. Cell phones/other devices may be picked up from the office by the parent or other adult
