11. Cell Phone Policy- Revised
Cell Phones and other electronic devices should not be seen or heard in the classrooms between the hours of 7:05 a.m. and 2:10 p.m.  Cell phones and electronic devices may be used during lunch in the cafeteria and courtyard, and class changes. Cell phones are banned in the classroom unless your teacher has given the class explicit permission. This will be denoted by the cell phone sign in the front of the classroom.
EMT (ELED/METS/METS at Olympic High School or Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is not liable for any lost or stolen property belonging to students or their families. The owner assumes all risk when items of value are brought on campus. The school highly recommends that all valuables are left at home and not brought to school.
Cellphones are completely banned from use in the classroom setting unless the teacher indicates the availability to use a cell phone. If the sign states cellphones are permitted, students can use them with their teachers instructions. If the sign says NO cellphones allowed, they are completely banned and if they are out or being used EMT administration will follow the policy below.

12. Cell Phone Policy- Revised
A parent/guardian must pick up the confiscated item from the assigned Administrator.
1st Offense - Warning (Teacher keeps phone until end of class)
Failure to surrender phone to teacher for the first offense automatically yields a 2nd offense consequence.
2nd Offense- Referral to administration. Teacher will lock phone in their classroom and give to administration at the end of the day. All cell phones and electronic devices will be held by administration for the equivalent of one full day. (24 hours!)
Failure to surrender to any staff will result in 3 days OSS.

4th Offense - Referral to administration. Teacher will lock phone in their classroom and give to administration at the end of the day. All cell phones and electronic devices will be held by administration for the equivalent of 5 full days.
