Electronic Devices

Discovery High School does not have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy. Electronic devices necessary in the classroom will be provided for the students to use.

Students may possess personal communication devices at school, on school property and after school activities. These devices are to be turned OFF during classes. Distracting behavior involving a personal communication device that creates an unsafe environment or violates another person’s privacy will not be tolerated. Students shall have no expectation of confidentiality with respect to their use of personal communication devices on school property.

Students are prohibited from using any electronic device to capture, record, and/or transmit test information or any other information in a manner constituting fraud, theft, cheating, or academic dishonesty. Likewise, students are prohibited from using devices to receive such information.

Possession of a personal communication device at school during school hours is a privilege that may be forfeited by any student who fails to abide by the terms of this policy, or otherwise abuses the privilege.
