MHMS Cell Phone Policy

WCSD is proud to be a 21st Century District, and to promote responsible and thoughtful use of personal electronic devices to support student achievement. Electronic devices can be disruptive and interfere with student learning, including the learning of those that are not in possession of such devices.

Marce Herz is an Away For the Day school. Student personal electronic devices should not be used from 7:30–2:00pm daily on campus. If devices are brought to school, they must be turned off and put away during these hours. Teachers and administrators reserve the right to confiscate a student’s electronic device if it is in violation of the away for the day policy. The first time a student’s personal electronic device appears to be a disturbance to the educational environment, it will be taken away and taken to the office where it will be secured and returned to the student at the end of the school day. The parent/guardian will need to come to the school to collect their child’s personal electronic device any subsequent time the device is confiscated. The third and additional offenses will be considered insubordination or disregard for school rules and additional school-determined consequences will apply.
