Cell Phone / Electronics Policy

Under the updated policy, Chancellor's Regulation A-413, students are not permitted to use personal internet-enabled electronic devices during the school day.

A personal internet-enabled device is any electronic device not issued by a school or NYCPS program that can connect to the internet, allowing the user to access content online. Examples of these personal devices include:

Communication Devices, such as cell phones, smartphones, and smartwatches.
Computing Devices, such as laptops, tablets, and iPads.
Portable music and entertainment systems, such as MP3 players and game consoles.

This policy applies from "bell to bell," which means students are not permitted to use their personal devices throughout the entire school day. The "school day" covers all instructional and non-instructional time, including homeroom periods, lunch, recess, and study hall sessions.

Should a parent/guardian need to reach a child during the school day they can call 212-260-5375.

Students who need to contact a parent or guardian may report to the main office with a pass from their teacher and request to use the phone.

In the event of an emergency at school, school staff members will contact students' families directly.

Exceptions:

By students with medical conditions that require the use of electronic devices to monitor them, such as glucose monitors for diabetes. In this case, parents should inform the school and provide any necessary documentation to ensure proper authorization and usage.
For translation services, to assist students who need language support not currently provided by their school.
If required by an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan.
By student caregivers, on a case-by-case basis. A school psychologist, school social worker, or school counselor will review and determine if exceptions may be granted for a student caregiver who is routinely responsible for the care and wellbeing of a family member.
In individual emergency situations, when the parent has notified school leadership of the specific nature of the emergency.
Where otherwise required by the law. This includes situations where federal, state, or local laws mandate the use of such devices for specific purposes.
