While we at Lincoln Park understand the importance of a cell phone to maintain contact with your student, we do enforce the CPS student Code of Conduct.
It is against CPS policy to have:
- "Possession of pagers or cellular phones without prior permission of the Principal"
- "Unauthorized activation of or use of pagers, cellular phone or other electronic devices"
- After the first offence, cell phones may be retrieved by the parent/guardian, from the MAIN OFFICE on Wednesday and Fridays ONLY between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30.
- After the second offence, the phone is confiscated until the end of the school year.
In order to accommodate the growing parental concerns about student safety while traveling to and from school, Lincoln Park High School will allow students to possess cell phones provided the following procedures and rules are strictly adhered to:
- The parent/ guardian must sign and date this form and have their son/daughter return it to the Discipline Office. Upon receipt of the request, the student’s record will be updated to verify approval.
- The approval is valid for as long as the student is in good academic and behavioral standing at Lincoln Park High School for the current school year.
- THE USE OF CELL PHONES (OUT-GOING OR IN-COMING CALLS AND MESSAGES) AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE SCHOOL BUILDING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. SUCH USE WILL RESULT IN CONFISCATION OF THE PHONE OR ELECTRONIC DEVICE. PHONES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES CONFISCATED BY SCHOOL PERSONNEL WILL BE RETURNED ONLY TO THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN.
- Parents should call the school for any emergency situation. We will contact your son/ daughter. DO NOT TRY TO CONTACT THEM BY CELL PHONE.
- Cell phones and other electronic devices are to be turned off and kept in the student’s book bag or locker. At no time is it to be exposed on clothing or on the book bag.
- The school will not be responsible for any lost, misplaced, or stolen cell phones or other electronic devices.
