Use of Mobile Devices Policy and Procedures Mobile devices should not be seen in classrooms unless specifically directed by the class teacher. All devices are to be kept in the students bags. Learners not complying with this will be warned by the teacher. Teachers may also confiscate devices if warnings are not heeded during the lesson. Any item of value is brought to school at a student’s own risk. CRIS does have systems in place to ensure that phones are confiscated efficiently if policy is not adhered to but we cannot take responsibility for any loss, theft or damage of the phones if a student chooses to bring them on site. All parent/care givers will be expected to pick up the device the following day from the school reception after 3:00 pm. The phone will not be returned to the child. Earphones in corridors is not permitted. Mobile phones should not be used in corridors if such use is impacting on learning (for example texting outside a classroom and therefore making students late). References and Recommendations for Students If a student or parent requests a reference or recommendation, you have the to decide whether to do it. If you agree, please remember the following: All references should be confidential. References should never be given to individuals but passed to the Head of School to be sent directly to the relevant interested party. Leaving students must ensure that any outstanding business with the school is processed before departure. No documentation will be issued if fees, books, etc., remain outstanding. Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) Extra-curricular activities are offered every weekday from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. These activities are designed to broaden the educational, sports and recreational experience of students at CRIS, covering as wide a range of options as possible. All teachers are therefore encouraged to offer ECAs according to their interest and knowledge. Although voluntary, teachers are paid extra for one to four ECA classes per week, excluding holidays and special events, such as faculty meetings, etc. Generally ECAs are offered on a semester basis and begin about 2 weeks into the semester. (The Academic Support Program ECA for secondary students runs for one quarter, beginning quarter 2 and required enrollment is based on students’ grades in core subjects.) Teachers should submit an overview and timeline of the projected content of their ECA course to the administration office within these 2 weeks. Payment for all ECAs and any extra hours of teaching will be taxed at a rate of 3%. Special Learning Needs
