Effective
Immediately: Changes to Bag and Tag Procedures
This is a reminder to students that all electronic devices, including cell phones, need to be turned off and put away from 7:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Any electronic items seen or heard by staff members during this time frame will be confiscated, bagged, tagged, and sent to the attendance office.
On students first offense- The item will be kept for 3 days including the day it was taken.
On a students second offense- The item will be confiscated for 5 days including the day it was taken.
On the third offense-The item will be confiscated for 5 days and a 24 hour dismissal will be issued to the student.
In addition, head gear and hats must be removed upon entering the building. These items can also be confiscated if students violate this rule.
When an item is confiscated, it will not be returned to anyone before the confiscation time period expires. You will not get your device back before the final day, even if a parent/guardian/other adult comes to school to pick it up. NO ITEM WILL BE RETURNED BEFORE THE END OF THE FINAL DAY OF CONFISCATION.
Please keep this in mind as you prepare for the start of each school day.
Thank you,
Park Center Administration
