phones or smart watches taken away will not be able to get them back until they have completed prescribed discipline. See Discipline Code

Emergency Procedures Emergency Situations Parents are encouraged to periodically review with their children the school’s procedures and the family’s procedures for possible emergencies.
Emergency Numbers Notification of Medical Emergency and Accidents Parents and guardians should always leave instructions for being reached in emergency situations. School officials will make every attempt to reach a parent or guardian in the event of an emergency. It is essential that the school office have a contact number on file where one or both parents can be reached. A cell phone number and a relative or nearby neighbor’s number is also helpful. If the parent or guardian cannot be reached, Gatewood will notify the person(s) designated on the Personal Record and Medical Information form. This information MUST be entered into record via RenWeb’s Webforms in the custodial parent section of ParentWeb. The Personal Record and Medical Information forms contain authorization and consent for the school, through a qualified person, to administer such first aid or other minor medical treatment as deemed best under the circumstances. All physical injuries will be examined as soon as possible. In case of an emergency requiring immediate medical care, the school, if unable to notify the parents, is authorized to have the child treated by a qualified physician at the nearest emergency clinic. In an attempt to continue improvement to our notification systems, we have added a texting, emailing, or Robo-calling RenWeb module called Parent Alert. Based upon your preferences in RenWeb, we will send all emergency messages and updates via Parent Alert so that you or your designee is notified expeditiously when required in emergency-related situations.
