SOCIAL MEDIA

S O ci AL M ED i A / cELL pHO n ES

Use of cell phones is not permitted in class unless the teacher has specifically prescribed its use in an academic activity. Many students have private email and social media accounts. Parents are strongly encouraged to monitor and set expectations for appropriate digital citizenship.

Many social networking sites do not typically have an academic connection and are thus discouraged during school hours. Connections between students and faculty are strictly limited to applications that have a direct impact on day to day communications and teacher-driven academic activities. See further details in the US Student Handbook regarding prohibitions for social media and responsible cell phone usage.
