At Ashland High School, we are committed to maintaining a cell phone-free environment in our classrooms. Personal cell phones, watches, and other devices are the responsibility of the student and families. AHS is not responsible for lost or damaged devices that students choose to bring. Students are expected to turn in their cell phones, powered off, to the designated cell phone receptacles at the beginning of each class. Additionally, there will be no cell phone usage during restroom breaks. All other smart devices are expected to be off and away during class time. This policy ensures that students remain focused and engaged in their learning throughout the school day. However, we understand there are exceptions for emergencies, medical needs, and family contact. For these, please contact the front office for assistance. If a student violates the cell phone policy, the teacher will confiscate the device and the student may pick it up from the main office at the end of the day. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a focused learning environment for all students.
