Can the teacher take a student’s phone?

Body: 

Students will be expected to follow the expectations of their school regarding when and where cell phones and other personal mobile devices may be used.

Teachers are responsible for maintaining a classroom environment consistent with expectations and will ask students to comply. That may include asking the student to leave it with their teacher in a secure location.

If a student is not willing to follow direction, the Principal or Vice Principal does have the authority to ask them to surrender their phone until a parent or guardian is contacted.
