Cell Phones
Students at FYHS are not permitted to use their cell phones throughout the
school day, beginning with shacharis and ending with dismissal. When
arriving at shacharis, every student will hand in his phone when they first
enter. Dormitory students must deposit their phones when arriving at
shacharis as well. An administrative staff member will follow up with each
Rebbe about students who have not handed in their phone. If a student
comes late to school, he must immediately deposit his phone into the office
to be allowed into class. If a student leaves campus for the rest of the day, a
parent must contact the Administration. Then the student can retrieve his
phone upon leaving campus.
Students may not leave their phones at home or in their cars. Students will
be marked absent until they hand their phones into the box (or office).
If a student is seen with a phone during the school day, it is subject to
the following confiscation policy:
1st Time - A one-week confiscation
2nd Time - A two-week confiscation
3rd Time - A parent meeting and possible confiscation for the rest of the year
The school is not responsible for damage or the loss of the phone while the
phone is in the school’s possession.
Computers, Tablets, Smartwatches, and Social Network Policy
Students may not bring their own laptops, tablets, smart watches, or any
other technological device (including Nintendo Switches) not approved by
the FYHS administration. Students will be provided with an FYHS laptop for
school use. The consequence for violating the above expectations for
computers, tablets and smartwatches will be the same as for violating the
expectation for phones. Students are financially responsible for any school
provided laptop that is damaged or lost and the expense will be deducted
from the family FACTS account.
