Electronic Media Students may not bring televisions, video game consoles, or handheld video games to campus. Students are permitted to have portable radios, CD players, or MP3 players in their dorms. Music should be played at a reasonable volume. Personal electronic devices (mp3 players, cell phones, PSPs, etc.,) are allowed, but they must be kept in the dorm or in the girls’ lounge. Headphones should not be used or worn outside these areas during the school day (until the end of PE), unless they are being used for academic purposes under teacher supervision, such as in evening study hall (as with cell phones, any electronic media used in undesignated areas at inappropriate times will be confiscated by faculty and they will have to wait 24 hours to retrieve them after a $10 fine has been paid. Following the third confiscation of electronic media/cell phone (or any combination thereof), a parent or guardian will be required to come to the school to pay the fine and pick up the electronic media/cell phone. Continued abuse will result in loss of electronic media privileges.
