Cell Phone Policy Update & FAQ for Parents
Please review our Frequently Asked Questions document for everything you need to know about the new cell phone policy and consequences:
Cell Phone Policies & Discipline
Due to a legislative action by the South Carolina General Assembly, the South Carolina State Board of Education passed a new cell phone policy for school districts across the state, which goes into effect after Winter Break. School districts must adopt this policy pertaining to personal electronic devices. At the December meeting, the Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees approved an updated policy to comply with the state requirement.
While Greenville County Schools had updated our policy last year and this is not significantly different, we want to make sure you are aware of the most notable updates in order to comply with the state, which include:All student cell phones and personal electronic devices must be silenced or turned off and stored in backpacks, lockers, or in a location directed by school; this includes smartwatches, earbuds, and all other personal electronic devices and accessories. At Mauldin High School devices must be stored in backpacks.
High school students may not use electronic devices outside of the classroom unless that use is for instructional/school-related activities as approved by the school, such as checking grades, emailing teachers, referencing their schedule, using the phone to pay for lunch, etc. This will only be permitted during your student's scheduled lunch time in the atrium.
Details about the updated policy can be reviewed on the district’s website. Please reach out to Mr. Peake with any questions.
