Battle Ground has a new cellphone policy that is intended to help limit distractions during class time and standardizes the existing approach to cellphones across schools in the district. The policy is based on input from parents, guardians, staff and students and applies to all personal electronic devices.
Expectations regarding phone use vary by grade level. See details.
During times when phone use is not allowed, students may contact their parents/guardians using phones in school offices.
We will follow all individualized education plans and 504 plans as written.
In the event of a schoolwide crisis or emergency, students would be allowed to access their phones.
On buses, the expectation is that students use headphones, refrain from taking pictures/videos and access only school-appropriate websites.
Thank you for your partnership in supporting student learning and healthy phone use habits.
