Read this entry with one caveat
“During non-instructional times, students should store devices out of sight” is how this district covers lunch, passing time and study hall: it names the non-instructional part of the day rather than listing the periods inside it.

How phones are stored
A local choice, not a state oneVaries by school
Different schools in the district use different storage methods.
Classroom caddies during instruction, and the student's own out-of-sight storage the rest of the day.
What happens if the rule is broken
From the Behavioral Guidelines table for “Use of internet-enabled devices without permission”: first a teacher warning; second a teacher detention with parent notification; third and fourth an administrative detention with an educational or counselling component; fifth a SWAP detention with parent notification; subsequent offences suspension, SWAP or confiscation.
