THE GLADYS H. OBERLE SCHOOL HAS A NO ELECTRONICS POLICY INCLUDING CELL PHONES!
The intent of our “no electronics/cell phone” policy is to help our students stay more present and engaged in their learning. Current research and our own observations within the classroom clearly indicate electronic/cell phone usage to be a major distraction which contributes to a less than optimal learning environment for both the student and the teacher. Acceptance and continued placement into The Oberle School program is dependent on student compliance with this policy.
- The following procedure is enforced when students arrive to school with an electronic device including cell phones:
- Upon arrival to school, students will place all electronics including cell phones in the electronic/cell phone container before walking through the body scanner. This container has individual slots which will be clearly marked with each student’s name.
- Once all electronics/cell phones are collected, the container will be locked in a designated space.
- At dismissal, electronics/cell phones will be returned to the students as they leave the building by a staff member.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Students will not be permitted to enter the building if they refuse to turn in electronics or cell phones!
- If a student refuses to turn over electronics or cell phone, the following procedure will occur:
- Student will be encouraged to abide by the policy and place electronics/cell phone in their designated slot.
- If student continues to refuse, a parent/guardian will be called to discuss the situation.
- If student continues to refuse, parent/guardian will be instructed to come pick up the student.
- Repeated offenses will result in a meeting with the student’s LEA representative to discuss the noncompliance and to develop a plan for moving forward successfully.
- Continued noncompliance may result in a student’s termination.
I have read and agree to comply with the Oberle School Electronics/Cell Phone Agreement.
