Student Cell Phone Policy
Cell Phones and Wireless Communication Devices
Students are permitted to possess cellular phones and other wireless communication devices on school grounds, school buses, and at school-sponsored events. However, all devices must remain powered off and securely stored in a student’s backpack, purse, locker, or vehicle during the school day.
In accordance with House Bill 1105, the use of wireless communication devices by elementary and middle school students is strictly prohibited during the school day (no use on campus). Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the confiscation of the device. Repeated violations will be treated as defiance of school rules and may lead to disciplinary consequences.
Violation of this law is a Level II Offense in the SJCSD Student Code of Conduct.

- Third Offense: Phone is taken to front office and parent contacted to pick up phone at end of day and a consequence will be provided.
