BOARDING STUDENTS
Campus Boundaries Students must always stay within the established boundaries of the campus. Campus boundaries/unauthorized areas will be defined by TFS faculty and staff members. Areas become out of bounds when students are scheduled to be elsewhere on campus. Cell phones To the extent that a boarding student brings any electronic device to campus (smart/cell phones, smart watches, iPads, PlayStation, etc.), the student does so at his/her own risk. The school will not be responsible for the theft, damage, or loss of such devices. Students who choose to bring such devices must comply with all rules and regulations regarding the same. Regarding the use of electronic devices during the school day or at school-related events, see the Cell Phone/Mobile Device Policy in the All TFS Students section of this handbook. Students may not use electronic devices in any way that is inappropriate, harassing, or disruptive to the educational environment. The visible/audible content stored on an electronic device such as images, wallpapers, and ringtones are to be school-appropriate. Students are never permitted to use electronic devices to make threats, use camera features to take inappropriate pictures or videos, or in ways that would otherwise violate a school rule. Students are not permitted to use electronic devices in restrooms. Students who violate this policy will have their cell phones or electronics confiscated. In such case, the school reserves the right to inspect the device, including all contents. Students must provide passwords to inspect the device and its contents upon request by a school administrator. Students and their parents consent to the school logging into the device and its contents and applications, as well as accessing all communications, including, without limitation, stored communications. Students will also be subject to disciplinary procedures for violation of this policy. Upperclassmen (9th-12th grades) Upperclassmen are to register their cell phone with their dormitory counselors. Upperclassmen may keep their phones at all times, except during the academic day and schoolrelated events. Boarding students are to leave their phones in their safe or in their dorm rooms prior to leaving for school in the morning or to attend a school-related event. Boarding Underclassmen (6th-8th grades) Underclassmen are to register their cell phone with their dormitory counselors. Underclassmen may keep their cell phone on weekends (after school Friday-until study time on Sunday). Unregistered cell phones by either an upperclassman or an underclassman will be considered a major infraction. Cell phone use may be restricted due to unsatisfactory academic or behavioral performance. 33 FP 47811796.1
