CELL PHONE POLICY REMINDER

Melbourne High recognizes that cell phones are ubiquitous in our society and that many of our students bring them to school. However, possession of cell phones on campus is a privilege. The School Board of Brevard County has placed limits on when students may use their cell phones during school hours and how they may use them. We encourage you to read the district policy: http://go.boarddocs.com/fl/brevco/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=CQUQ7D679773

Cell phones have many positive uses. However, in the classroom setting they are an enormous distraction to learning. Multiple research studies cite the negative effects of cell phone use on teenagers, particularly the overuse of social media. We have found that cell phones not only distract students from learning, but also facilitate negative behavior such as:

  • Cyberbulling
  • Harassment
  • Sexting
  • Arguing with teachers about using cell phones in class
  • Taking photos or videos of students and staff without their permission
  • Accessing inappropriate websites
  • Arranging meetings with friends in the hallways or restrooms during class time

Melbourne High allows students to use their cell phones before school, during lunch, and between class periods. The use of cell phones is prohibited during class time for any reason. Students who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action including the revocation of their cell phone privilege on campus. Upon a referral, the device will be confiscated and a parent/guardian will need to pick the phone up in the front office.
