Personal Electronic Devices

PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES:

Royal Oak School is a place of “school business”.  Cell Phones and electronic devices can be used to support educational purposes in appropriate ways at the direction of the supervising staff.  Phones and electronic devices can distract others and self if used inappropriately.
