School Policy

 

Cell Phone Policy

It is the policy of the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD) to prohibit the use of cellular phones, pagers or any electronic signaling devices by students on campus during normal school hours or school activities.
 

The following guidelines apply:

Students are permitted to possess cellular phones, pagers, and electronic signaling devices on campus provided that any such device remains "off" and stored in a backpack, purse, or other places where it is not visible during normal school hours or school activities.

Students are only permitted to use cellular phones, pagers, and electric signaling devices before entering campus in the morning and after school hours.

Students must comply anytime a request is made by school personnel to cease the use of a cellular telephone, pager, or other electronic signaling devices even before or after school.

If such a device is observed by staff during school hours or activities, it shall be confiscated until redeemed by a parent/guardian/caregiver or as determined by the school principal/designee.

Students and parents are to be advised that the District is not responsible for students' lost or stolen cell phones or pagers.

CLOTHING AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS

 
Please mark all items clearly, so that if lost they may be returned to the proper owner when found
 
  • Children are not to bring such items as toys, radios, games, playground equipment, etc. to school.
  • Money is not needed except during fund-raising events.
  • These items will be taken from the students and returned only to the parents/guardian
 
CLOSED CAMPUS POLICY
 
As you know, we are living in a time when safety and well-being of children are critically important.
 
  • We will continue to implement LAUSD'S closed Campus Policy, which mandated that all school campuses shall be locked during the school day.
  • The gates to the school campus will be locked from 8:01 a.m. to 2:20 p.m.
  • The campus will be closed to all persons except enrolled students, School District Personnel, authorized adults, and parent volunteers who are properly registered in the Main Office.

VISITORS POLICY
 
We encourage parents/guardians to visit their child's classroom with the last amount of disruption as possible. Please be advised that classroom visits are not opportunities for parent conferences.
 

In addition to Back to School Night, Open House, and Parent/Teacher Conferences, your child's teacher will inform you about the best way to communicate with him/her about your child's academic progress. When visiting your child's classroom, please observe the following procedures.

  • Complete a visitor's pass from the main office.
  • Enter and leave the classroom as quietly as possible.
  • Do not converse with students, teachers, or instructional aides, and please do not interrupt the instruction.
  • Do not interfere with any school activity.
  • Keep the lengths of visits reasonable (20 minutes).
