Hello Pioneers! 👋
When students return to school on Monday, October 19, West High will renew its focus on following our school rules for cell phones and other personal electronic devices.
Kansas law and WPS BOE policy require students to keep these devices turned off and stored away during the school day.
As a reminder:
👉 No personal electronic devices during the school day. West's building procedures also apply to school-sponsored activities on and off campus, including field trips, from 7:40am to 3:10pm.
👉 Devices must be turned off and stored in the designated location. Each student at West was checked out a locker where devices can be stored. Devices cannot be on a student's person or readily accessible. This includes pants and hoodie pockets.
👉 If a student is seen with a device, they must turn it in at the office where it will be stored safely and can be retrieved between 3:10pm and 4pm.
👉 The policy covers more than phones. Smartwatches, personal tablets, wireless earbuds and similar devices are included.
👉 Approved exceptions apply. Students with qualifying IEP, Section 504 or medical accommodations have a sticker on their student ID indicating approved device use.
👉 On the third violation, a parent or guardian must pick up the device from school.
Parents - if you need to reach your student please call West High at 316-973-3600.
Students - if you need to contact home please ask a staff member to help you use a school phone.
Thank you for helping us make West a place where every student can focus, learn and succeed.
West is Best! 💛
