A school is a place where students come to receive an education. We believe that certain things disrupt the educational process and, therefore, are not permitted. The following is a representative list, including, but not limited to, those items that will not be allowed for a student to carry on him/herself or in a backpack at school:

• Cellular Phones and Other Personal Communication Devices During School Hours
• Video Cameras
• Smartwatches
• Bluetooth headphones
• Technology devices without a permission slip
• Laser Pointers or similar devices
• Pets/Animals
• Skateboards/roller-skates/in-line skates/ “heelies”
• Water guns/aerosol cans
• Pocketknives
• Large dollar bills
• Medications and all kinds of medicine.
  These must be handed over to the Infirmary to be administered by the School Nurse.
• Gameboys, Nintendo, iPods, MP3 players, and other personal devices
• Anything deemed inappropriate for the learning environment
• Exceptions may be made for special activities or classes that require any of the above. All items considered unacceptable will be confiscated and will not be returned until the end of the school year.
• ACA accepts no liability for loss, cost, replacement or revenue of confiscated items.
• The administration reserves the right to use discretion in defining unacceptable items.
