Students at Carver Center form a strong community. There are many opportunities outside the classroom for students to interact.
However, regarding cell phone usage:
Cell phones should remain off and away during instructional time, unless explicitly directed by the teacher to be utilized in instruction. Not adhering to this policy will result in logical consequences, as outlined in the Student Handbook Addendum and the BCPS Student Handbook.
When there is a classroom incident, to include cell phone usage, the policy is as follows:
Occasion #1 Teacher warning, conference with student
Occasion #2 Teacher calls parent
Occasion #3 Teacher gives detention, and notifies parent
Occasion #4 Teacher notifies grade-level administrator; appropriate action taken
Occasion #5 Office detention assigned
Occasion #6 Required parent conference held with administrator
Occasion #7 Student Support Team held
