Cell Phone and Electronic Devices Policy

Cell Phone Use/Possession Policy and Agreement

Bravo has a “bell to bell – no cell phone” policy. This policy has been established to support a safe and respectful learning environment. It also serves to decrease distractions during instructional times. Students may only use their phones with Bravo staff permission. Allowing your child to bring a cell phone to school means you (and your child) have been made aware and agree to abide by the policies listed below.

Students enrolled at Bravo Medical Magnet High School and their parents agree with all the following statements:

1.	I understand that using a cell phone in school can be disruptive to the educational process. I understand a student cell phone must be POWERED OFF during classes, not on silent or vibrate.
2.	I understand a student cell phone must be POWERED OFF during classes, not on silent or vibrate.
3.	I understand that a student may use a cell phone if permitted to do so by faculty or staff as part of a specified lesson or activity, under their supervision.
4.	I understand that unless students have staff permission, it is a violation for the student to communicate using their device with anyone (including parents) during school hours. I understand that parents should call the school for any emergency or early dismissal and a member of the faculty or staff will then contact the student. DO NOT TRY TO CONTACT THEM BY TEXTING OR CALLING.
5.	I understand that failure to abide by the established policy shall result in the device being confiscated until the end of the school day and returned only to a parent/guardian/caregiver. I further understand that 3 violations of the established policy in one semester will result in the suspension of the right to possess a cell phone while in school for the remainder of that semester.
6.	I understand that LAUSD and Bravo Medical Magnet High School are not responsible for any lost, misplaced, or stolen cell phones or other electronic devices.
