It has been the policy of the staff and administration of Berlin High School that, to create a rigorous academic environment, the use of cell phones, music players, and any other electronic devices (not specifically needed for classroom instruction or individual education plan provision) are not allowed during the school day.  This year, the administration and staff will be strictly enforcing this policy.  Cell phones and other electronics must not be used, or even visible on the student, during the time from 7:25 AM to 2:10 PM.   Wed. August 27 and Thur. August 28 will be transition days where staff will be verbally warning students if they are violating the policy.   Starting Friday, August 29, any student observed with a cell phone or other electronic device will be asked to turn them over to a teacher.  The electronic device can be reclaimed at the end of school at the Assistant Principal's Office.  Failure to surrender the electronic device will result in discipline for insubordination. Continued violation of the electronics policy will result in further disciplinary action - office detention, ISS etc.   The full policy will be outlined in the student handbook.
