Burr Oak Community Schools 326 East Eagle Street / P.O. Box 337 Burr Oak, Michigan 49030 269-489-2213 269-489-5198(Fax) Main Office (269) 489-5181 Fax: (269) 489-5198 lgates@burroakcs.org Kristina Owens- Superintendent/ K-12 Principal kowens@burroakcs.org Cynthia Hernandez- Dean of Students chernandez@burroakcs.org Terry Greene- Technology & Virtual Academy Director 269-489-3198 tgreene@burroakcs.org July 11, 2024 Dear Students and Parents/Guardians: I want to give you an early heads up regarding our new student cell phone policy for the 24/25 school year. We have decided, based on student and teacher feedback, that less screen time will benefit student learning by encouraging more classroom discussions and collaborative projects; engaged students retain information. We are committed to improving our students’ classroom experiences and believe this is a positive step toward that goal. For the 24/25 school year, all student cell phones must be kept in backpacks/bags while in the classroom. Students will not be allowed to use their cell phones during class time. The only time they will be allowed to use them during the school day (7:45 to 2:20) will be during their scheduled lunch. In addition, Chromebook usage will also be limited during class time. Teachers will be providing more direct instruction and creating lessons that require human interaction. We acknowledge that many parents want to be able to hear from their children in a possible emergency situation, which is why we are not banning phones completely or forcing them to be kept in lockers. As always, we consider parents as partners in the educational process and look forward to your support in this effort. The entire cell phone policy is attached and will be added to the 24/25 student handbook. Sincerely, Mrs. Kristina Owens
Cell Phone Use Students may not use cell phones or other electronic devices during school hours. Cell phones or other electronic devices must be stored in the student’s locker or backpack during school hours if a student chooses to bring them to school. Students are personally and solely responsible for the security of their cell phones and other electronic devices. The District is not responsible for theft, loss, or damage of any cell phone or other electronic device. Taking, disseminating, transferring, or sharing obscene, pornographic, lewd, or otherwise illegal photographs, video, audio, or other similar data, whether by electronic data transfer or otherwise (including via cell phone or other electronic device), may constitute a crime under state or federal law. A student engaged in any of these activities at school, at a school event, or on school-provided transportation, may be subject to discipline pursuant to this Policy and the student code of conduct. A student engaged in any of these activities outside of school may be disciplined if the student’s activities substantially disrupt or negatively affect the school environment. School administrators and teachers may confiscate a student’s cell phone or other electronic device if the student’s use or possession of a cell phone or electronic device violates this Policy, the student code of conduct, or any applicable building or classroom rule. The building principal or designee may require a meeting with the student’s parent/guardian to discuss the rule violation before returning the cell phone or electronic device. Students who violate this Policy are subject to corrective or disciplinary action, consistent with Policy and the student code of conduct.] Legal authority: MCL 380.1303(2) Date adopted: June 24, 2024 Date revised: June 24, 2024
