Roscoe Collegiate High Cell Phone Policy
    Cell phones are strictly prohibited in RCHS classrooms during the school day, cell phones must
    be off and out of sight. Teachers may require students to place their phone in a holding device to
    limit distractions.

    Addressing Violations

    The classroom teacher will signal the start of class by reminding students that all phones should
    be turned off and put away. If a student’s phone is visible or in use after the start of class, the
    teacher will ask the student for the cell phone.

    • If the student surrenders the phone freely, the teacher will call the office and state that a
      phone needs to be picked up. The teacher should secure the phone until an
      Administrator arrives to take possession of the phone. Consequences will be applied as
      described below.
    •  If the student refuses to surrender the phone as directed, the teacher will call the office
      and request an escort for the student. An Administrator will come to the room
      immediately to remove both the student and the phone.
    •  Consequences will be applied in accordance with the policies below. Roscoe Collegiate

    Roscoe Collegiate High School-Dress and Grooming
    The district’s dress code teaches grooming and hygiene, prevents disruption, and minimizes
    safety hazards. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming
    standards, provided that they comply with the following:

    In preparation for life after secondary education, students should learn that the context of the
    situation might dictate the appropriateness of dress and personal appearance. School is a
    business environment designed to prepare students to excel in the world of work and future
    educational institutions. Accordingly, the standard of dress and grooming required is set to that
    purpose. Requiring students to follow these dress and grooming standards contributes toward
    their preparation for future endeavors.

    Roscoe Collegiate High School feels that there is a direct correlation between student
    appearance, attitude, and student performance. Clothing that is too casual or distracting has an
    adverse effect on learning. Modesty is key, as the district’s dress and grooming standards are
    established to prevent disruption, teach grooming and hygiene expectations, and increase
    safety and learning.

    We also believe that the dress code should prepare the student for the rules of dressing in the
    workplace in the future. At school activities dress must be appropriate to the occasion. Those
    not dressed appropriately may be asked to leave, call for a change of clothing, or will be given
    clothing to change into for the day.

    safety hazards.
