2025-26 Sleepy Eye High School Electronic Device Expectations
Student use of electronic devices will continue to be limited for the 2025-26 school year. Students will only be able to use their electronic devices during their defined lunch period.
Outside of a student’s defined lunch period electronic devices are not to be on person and must be out of sight. Students can keep their electronic devices in their locker, which should be locked.
Upon dismissal to lunch, students can get electronic devices from their locker, or their backpack. When lunch is over, students need to return their electronic devices to their locker.
Should students choose to violate this expectation they have the following options.
- First violation
- Confiscated for three consecutive days
- Turn device into the office daily until completing 3 hours of community service
- Pay a $10 fine
- Subsequent violations
- Confiscated for seven consecutive days
- Turn device into the office daily until completing 7 hours of community service
- Pay a $20 fine
Should we run into issues with student use of electronic devices or, if we run into bullying/harassment of students by other students, or “ghost” social media accounts that are making disrespectful posts about staff, students, or the school, electronic devices will be completely banned for the entire school day.
I understand this may take away the convenience of connecting with your child by cell phone during the school day. I do believe it will provide a better educational environment and experience.
The main office is here to pass along any time sensitive messages that a student may need. The phone number is 507-794-7904, extension 1129.
Please contact me with any questions at 507-794-7904, extension 1131.
Sincerely,
Shane Laffen
Sleepy Eye High School Principal
