Violations of Digital Use Policy Any device used inappropriately is subject to immediate confiscation and the student can be subject to additional disciplinary measures. A confiscated device may be returned to the student or the student’s parents, depending on the severity of the offense. It may also be held as evidence of the underlying activity until the matter is resolved. Please note that the proliferation of digital communication devices, their unprecedented capabilities and capacities, as well as the impossibility of filtering a variety of off site satellite communication providers, creates a significant challenge. The pace of telecommunications change is simply outpacing our ability to manage, or even understand, the effect it is having on our children and their spiritual, academic and social development. Our desire is not to shelter our students from technology (our STEM initiative should indicate that), but to teach them how to properly use and avoid misuse of these powerful tools. This is especially important in these formative years when their social, behavioral and coping skills are in process.
