Our school is a College-Prep, public, tuition-free charter school offering kindergarten through eleventh grade. We implement a classical education curriculum with an emphasis in the fine arts. We believe that all students benefit from a rigorous, content-rich educational program that develops academic potential and personal character. Classes are taught at a honors level, with the assumption that our students are college bound.

The Board of Directors recognizes that the advances in technology prompt a concern for the security and safety of our students and staff. The board also acknowledges that over time, small hand-held electronic devices will be indiscernible as to function, i.e. phone, camera, music player, gaming players, video recorder, others. Also, in order to accommodate concerns about student safety while traveling to and from school, Xavier Charter School will allow students to possess cell phones/small electronic devices provided the following rules are strictly adhered to:
· The use of all Cell Phones/Small Electronic devices in the school building from ½ hour before the first bell to the end of the last period is strictly prohibited. Such use will result in out-of-school suspension and loss of the device.
· Cell Phones/Small Electronic devices should be stored turned off and out-of-sight in the students’ locker, purse or backpack. If the device goes “off” in the school building or is used – the student will be suspended.
· The use of camera, video or any type of recording phone or device is strictly forbidden in private areas at any time, such as locker rooms, restrooms, dressing areas, classrooms and offices. Such use may also be in violation of the criminal code and subject to expulsion.
· Parents should continue to call the school office for any emergency situation. We will contact your son/daughter. Do not contact them by cell phone or pager. Likewise, students who need to contact their parents during the day should ask to use a school phone. However, school phones are to be used for emergency situations only. All student transportation arrangements to and from school need to be made with the student before they come to school each day.
. In addition to the suspension, the students’ device will be confiscated. The parent/guardian will need to come to school to pick it up.
In rare instances, the administrator may exercise discretion in the enforcement and applicability of the provisions of this policy.
