Cell Phone and Personal Device Expectations
III. Student Responsibilities
Overview: Enfield High School prohibits the use of cell phones and other personal smart devices in the classroom during the class period. This is to improve student focus, academic achievement, and wellbeing. Student misuse of cell phones in the classroom negatively impacts their ability to focus and succeed in the classroom. Rationale: While technology can be an excellent tool for supporting authentic learning experiences, we are finding that inappropriate use of personal devices can be detrimental to student wellbeing and academic performance.

Acceptable Use of AI Guidelines Artificial Intelligence is an emerging technology that poses unique opportunities and challenges for learning. Artificial Intelligence( AI) tools may support student learning when used appropriately.
