Elec. Devices/Cell Phones

Electronic Devices/Cell Phones

Students at Nazareth are allowed to carry their cell phones/ electronic devices with them providing they are turned off or silenced, and put away. In addition, students are allowed to use their phones/electronic devices (including earbuds/pods) in the Dining Hall during their lunch period and during their Study Hall ONLY.

Phones, iPads, and all other electronic devices (including earbuds/pods) ARE NOT to be used during passing periods, when a student is out of class or on a pass, or in the bathrooms. Students violating this privilege will receive a warning as described in the Discipline policy.

Phones and electronic devices may not be used in classes (without teacher permission), or cause a disruption at any time. Students violating this policy will receive a level 1 consequence of the Technology and Acceptable Use policy and may have their cell phone/electronic device confiscated and held in the Dean’s Office until the end of the day. If a violation involves an iPad, the detention will be issued; however the iPad will not be confiscated unless it is deemed necessary by the Dean. A subsequent violation will result in more serious consequences at the discretion of the Deans of Students. Please refer to the full Technology Acceptable Use policy for more information.

Fighting/Intimidation

Verbal threats and/or intimidation constitute an infringement upon others’ rights and will result in disciplinary action. Should any two students resort to physical fighting, both may be held equally accountable for such misconduct. Both may be placed on disciplinary probation; parents may be notified immediately, and each may be suspended until a meeting with the parent(s) has taken place and the situation has been resolved. Students involved in or witnessing a situation that can escalate into a fight should get help from an adult immediately. In accordance with State requirements, the principal or designee shall immediately notify law enforcement officials of written complaints from school personnel concerning instances of battery committed against school personnel at the school. The principal or designee shall also notify the Illinois State Police within three days of each incident through the School Incident Reporting System (SIRS).
