XHS Cell Phone & Electronics Policy for Students

 


Xenia High School Families:

Xenia High School will require that all student cell phones be either left in a student’s school locker or be put in book bags during class times.  There should be no student cell phones visible in a classroom during class time.  Students will also be asked to leave their phones in their classroom when they leave a class to go to the nurse’s office, the main office, the guidance office, or the restroom.  Students will still be able to use their phones during their study halls, lunch periods, and between classes.  Students who choose not to comply with this new policy will face disciplinary action as follows.

  • First Offense: Student will receive one lunch detention; classroom teacher will contact the student’s guardian.
  • Second Offense: Student will receive two lunch detentions; classroom teacher will contact the student’s guardian.
  • Third Offense:  Student will take their cell phone to the main office, and leave the phone there for the remainder of the school day.
  • Fourth Offense: Student will take their cell phone to the main office, and leave the phone there for the remainder of the school day.  The student will receive one day of In-School Intervention.
  • Fifth Offense:  Student will be put on a cell phone contract signed by the student’s guardian. The contract will include the student leaving their cell phone in the main office during the school day for the remainder of the school year.

We want all families to know that, should you need to contact your student, you can call the main office at (937) 372-6983 to arrange to talk with your student.  We will immediately get your student to a place where they can talk with you whenever you need to talk with them.  In exchange, we would ask all family members not to contact your student during the school day by calling or texting their cell phones.  Remember – if you need to speak with your student, all you need to do is contact the main office, and we will arrange for your student to contact you as quickly as possible.

We hope that, with your support, we can make cell phones less of a distraction for all of our students.  Thank you in advance for supporting us in this effort.
