Cell phone and Electronic Device information

All students will be asked to place their cell phones in their locker prior to testing each day. If a student does not place their phone in their locker, all cell phones, smart phones, and other prohibited electronic devices will be collected as students enter the testing site.

PDE has asked all districts and schools to inform parents of the following: * Cell phones are not allowed during the test administration;

* The consequence for using and/or having a cell phone or other electronic device during the test administration will result in the application of a "Do Not Score" label on his/her test booklet or appropriate notification to not score on the online version, and the student will not receive a score;

* If the student uses a cell phone or electronic device in any manner during the administration of the test, the phone or electronic device will be confiscated until such time that the parent or guardian can come to the school, and in the presence of the parent or guardian, the cell phone or other electronic device will be viewed to ensure that no information or material regarding the assessment is present;

* Violation of the no cell phone or other electronic device rule will result in discipline and that discipline will vary depending on whether test material has been compromised; and

* Any items on an assessment that have been compromised, and can no longer be used will have to be replaced, and the parents and students may be responsible for the cost of replacement. Please call the main office with any questions.
