around the neck or any way that keeps them in sight. Teachers may confiscate any device used or in
sight or activated during class time. Students may use these devices before and after school,
between classes and at lunch; however school staff may confiscate items from students who are
causing a distraction or creating a safety hazard. BEHS gives students much freedom in the use of
personal electronic devices and expects responsible behavior on the part of students.
