mobile phones...
Dalbeattie High School accepts that parents and carers give their children mobile phones to protect them from everyday risks involving personal security and safety. There is also increasing concern about children travelling alone on public transport or commuting long distances to school. It is acknowledged that providing a child with a mobile phone gives parents reassurance that they can contact their child if they need to speak to them urgently.
Dalbeattie High School has a new Mobile Phone Policy that pupils must now abide by. After considerable consultation, this policy has been approved by both the Pupil Council and the Parent Council. In summary, the policy states that Mobile phones should be switched off and kept out of sight during classroom lessons and while in the school building. An exception may be permitted only in extreme circumstances if the parent or carer specifically requests it through the School Office. Such requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis and should be directed to a member of the management team.
