Cell Phone and Internet Enabled Device Policy – Queens HS for Language Studies

In accordance with New York State Law and New York City Department of Education Chancellor’s Regulation CR A-413, students will not be permitted to use cell phones and other internet enabled devices during the school day. The below document outlines our school’s policy around these devices.

The QHSLS Device Policy not only ensures that our school follows New York State Law and NYC DOE policies, but it also promotes a distraction-free learning environment for all students.

PARAMETERS

This policy applies to all personal internet-enabled electronic devices. This includes all devices capable of connecting to the internet and enabling the user to access content on the internet. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to:

Cell phones/smartphones
Smartwatches
Laptops, tablets, iPads
Portable music and entertainment systems (e.g. video game systems/consoles)
Similar communication or computing devices

This restriction is in place from “bell to bell.” This means that students may not access any devices covered by this policy during their normally scheduled school day, this includes during lunch, study hall, and in between class periods.

Students must secure their devices (see below for more details) when they arrive at school. They will be permitted to access their devices at the end of their normally scheduled school day. Depending on the student and their schedule, there are three possible times when a student’s day may end:

1:33 PM
2:20 PM
3:08 PM

COLLECTION AND STORAGE OF DEVICES

At the start of each school year, students will be provided a NuKase to secure their devices during the school day. NuKase is a clear case that magnetically locks and unlocks. Students will have the same case for the entire year and will return their case at the end of the year.

When students arrive, they will power down their devices and place their devices in their NuKase. The case will be locked by a campus staff member. Students will keep their case, with their devices, on them throughout the school day.

Campus staff will be at the exits to unlock students’ cases as they leave for the day. Students who are approved to leave early, can go to room 118 to have a staff member unlock their case before they leave.

If students have devices that cannot fit in their case, or they forget their case at home, they will turn their devices into either room 209 or room 220A. Students will then pick-up their devices at the end of the school day. Students will have to wait until the conclusion of dismissal to pick up their devices that are stored in 209 or 220A. Devices will not be returned before or during dismissal.

Students returning to the building for 9th period classes or extra-curricular activities prior to 3:08, will be required to secure their devices when they return to the building. At 3:08, all students staying for extra-curricular activities will have their cases unlocked.

Students are responsible for their provided NuKase. In the event that a case is lost or damaged, the student will be required to pay $5 for a replacement case. Repeated loss or damage of cases may result in disciplinary consequences (see below for more information).

COMMUNICATION

Parents and guardians should contact our main office at 718-888-7530, should they need to reach their child during the school day. The following extensions will reach our main office staff:

1186 – Ms. Yi, Parent Coordinator
1185 – Ms. Ferdinand, Community Assistant
1187 – Ms. Cheung, School Aide

Students can go to the following locations, should they need to contact their parent or guardian using school phones:

Main Office – Room 118
Ms. Tu’s Office – Room 210
Mr. Ku’s Office – Room 212
Ms. Leon Chu’s Office – Room 223
Mr. Wuthenow’s Office – Room 220A
Mr. Bligh & Ms. Lee’s Office – Room 209

In the event of an emergency on our campus, our school will use the DOE GAMA system to send messages to our families. Please contact Ms. Yi (dyi3@schools.nyc.gov) if you need help signing up for the GAMA system and a NYCSA Account.

EXCEPTIONS

In accordance with Chancellor’s Regulation A-413, students and families may request permission to use personal internet-enabled electronic devices during the school day in the following circumstances:

A student’s IEP or 504 plan permits use of an internet-enabled device; however, a DOE-issued device has not yet been secured for the student to use.
When necessary to monitor a medical condition and to notify a user of necessary action to be taken (e.g. monitor blood glucose levels). This medical condition must be documented by the student’s medical provider and is subject to review by the Office of School Health.
On a case-by-case basis when a student is routinely responsible for the care and wellbeing of a family member. These cases will be reviewed by a school psychologist, school social worker, and/or school counselor.
In the event of an individual student emergency. The parent/guardian must notify the principal/principal’s designee of the specific nature of the emergency in order for an exception to be considered.
For translation or interpretation services, if no other means of translation or interpretation are available.
When authorized by the principal/principal’s designee for a specific educational purpose.
Where required by law.

In order to obtain an exception, a student’s parent/guardian must:

Email AP Judy Lee (jlee213@schools.nyc.gov) or submit a written request to the main office. These requests must specify which of the above exceptions apply.
School staff will respond to exception requests within 10 school days. A decision may take longer, if it is subject to review by someone other than school staff (e.g. the Office of School Health). School staff will inform families if their request requires additional review.

DISCIPLINE

Students who violate this policy will be in violation of the NYC DOE’s Discipline Code, Chancellor’s Regulation A-431, and the NYC DOE’s Internet Acceptable Use and Safety Policy (IAUSP). These students will be subject to progressive discipline in accordance with the policies set forth in the NYC DOE Discipline Code. A link to the NYC DOE Discipline Code can be found on our school website.

Each violation will be considered on a case-by-case basis to determine the most appropriate action. However, consequences may include, but are not limited to:

A warning
A student meeting
An individual student being required to turn in their device to a school administrator, either for a short period of time or for the remainder of the school year
A parent conference
Detention

Damage or loss of NuKase cases, especially if repeated or egregious, may result in a student facing consequences for damage to school property. Repeated violation of this policy, can also result in a student facing consequences for insubordination. In each of these cases, the supports and consequences students receive will be determined on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with the NYC DOE Discipline Policy.

REPORTING STOLEN OR DAMAGED DEVICES

Students should report stolen, lost, or damaged devices to school administration. Administration will take appropriate action, in accordance with NYC DOE policies.

POSTING OF THE POLICY

The QHSLS Device Policy will be included in the student handbook, posted to our school website, and will be distributed to students during the first week of school.
