Cell Phone & Computer Use Policies
Cell Phone Policy
Cell phones are not allowed to be used during the school day. Students are to turn their phones off and place them in the cell phone locker upon entering the building. The locker will be taken to the school office at the start of the school day and returned to the fellowship hall at the end of the day for retrieval.
Students may use their phones at the end of the school day to communicate with parents. Students may not use their phones for any other purpose until after the end-of-day dismissal.
​
Students who are doing online work with Colorado Christian University may take their laptop to the school office and use their phone for logging into their CCU account. Once a student is logged in, they will need to return their phone to the locker, ensuring that the phone is turned off.
​
Smartwatches follow the same policy as cell phones.
Misuse of this policy will result in the consequences outlined in the Basic School Rules section of the Student Handbook.
Computer Use Policy
GCCA believes that the appropriate computer use has much to offer students with its wide variety of resources. It is GCCA’s goal to educate students about efficient, ethical, and appropriate use of these resources.
Internet access for students is a privilege and not a right. The Internet user is held responsible for their actions whenever using the Internet. Unacceptable use of the network may result in the suspension or revocation of these privileges. The student and the parent must sign an agreement before the student will have access to the school network (this includes student’s personal laptops). It is the student’s responsibility to inform a teacher if inappropriate material is found on the Internet. A teacher or administrator will address unauthorized use.
GCCA student computers may only be used for homework purposes (no checking email, playing games, listening to music or watching videos). Teachers and/or administration may view a student’s history at any time while at school. This includes a student’s personal computer. Internet use is only for school assignments. If anything suspicious is suspected, the student’s Internet privilege will be revoked and a meeting with the administration will be required.

Misuse of this policy will result in the consequences outlined in the Discipline Policy section of the Student Handbook.
