Personal Electronic Device (PED) Policy

IHMS Personal Electronic Device (PED) Policy:

IHMS Personal Electronic Device (PED) Policy:

PED’s (including district issued chromebooks) may be used for teacher directed instructional purposes, as determined and posted by teachers. We want students to interact with their peers, and using PED’s throughout campus takes away from that opportunity.  PED’s  are not allowed at lunch, snack break, and passing periods. If headphones of any type are visible, the assumption is that students are using a PED.  Not following the PED policy may result in confiscation of devices and/or disciplinary action. All use of devices are subject to the terms of the SRVUSD Acceptable Use Policy. 
  • Cell phones may be brought to school, however they must be turned off and in the backpacks at all times that school is in session (Bell to Bell), unless being used at that time for teacher directed instructional purposes (please see PED policy above).
  • Any cell phone that is seen, heard, or becomes a classroom distraction can be confiscated and must be picked up by a parent or guardian at the front office. 
  • Cell phones are NOT ALLOWED to be brought to the restrooms during class time. 
Parents, please do not call or text students during class, as it can be very disruptive for classes. If you have an emergency and need to reach your student, please call (925)790-2500 and every effort will be made to get your emergency message to your child as soon as possible.
