NEW CELL PHONE REGULATIONS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL
By School Board policy, beginning next school year, middle school students may possess, display, and use Portable Communication Devices before or after the instructional day as long as such devices are not displayed, activated, or used inside School Board buildings.  The “instructional day” includes, but is not limited to, study hall, lunch break, class changes and any structured or non-structured instructional activity that occurs during the normal school day.  School officials shall take possession of portable communication devices for twenty-four hours for any violation of this regulation, and parents/legal guardians must make arrangements with school officials to claim such devices.  Confiscated Portable Communication Devices will not be released to students under any circumstances. In addition, students who violate this regulation shall be subject to discipline in accordance with the Virginia Beach City Public Schools Discipline Guidelines as specified in the Code of Student Conduct: First Offense – ISS (1 day), Second Offense – ISS (2 days), Third Offense – OSS (1 day), Fourth Offense – OSS (3-5 days). The school assumes no responsibility for the loss, damage, or theft of these devices.
