2nd Offense - Loss of Recess and Parent Notification
3rd Offense - Limited Usage of iPad with One School Night (iPad remains at school)and Parent Notification
4th Offense - Limited Usage of iPad with Three School Nights and Parent Notification

2nd Offense - Limited Usage of iPad with time period determined by Administrator with Parent/Administrator Conference. Possible in-school suspension consequence.

All Other violations may result in out-of-school suspension and/or restricted device usage

*Administrators will be involved in all Level 2 Violations. Level 3 Violations

Include but are not limited to: criminal offenses that require the involvement of law enforcement and/or recommendation for expulsion. Possession and use of school issued devices on school property acknowledges consent to search the contents of the device. Misuse of technology outside of school that impacts the people or environment on campus may also necessitate similar disciplinary consequences and searches.

*If violations continue, administration reserves the right to handle any of the above violations as they see fit.
