  • Compact enough to roll up and store easily in the clear backpack

  • Not the large, over-the-ear style

  • Designed to fit inside the ear

📵 Wireless earbuds taken out during the school day will be considered unauthorized technology and will be confiscated. A parent or guardian will need to pick them up from the front office.

📵 Phones not turned off will be confiscated — parents must pick them up.
🎒 Phones must stay in backpacks all day.

✅ After 4:15 PM, phones may be used only while waiting for buses in the cafeteria or for parent pickup outside the building.
