Chromebooks/Electronics Policy

Rationale

In our changing society, students are entering into a new technological age.  We at CKMS aim to help our students positively navigate this new reality.  These guidelines intend to teach our students appropriate technology usage. Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School students are issued a Chromebook to use for instructional purposes at school & at home. 

Guidelines

Personal electronic devices, including cell phones, AirPods, game consoles, smart glasses (Eg. Meta Glasses), tablets, personal computers, e-readers, smartwatches, may be used before and after school. During school hours (between the welcome and dismissal bells), all electronic devices must be turned off and stored in a school bag or backpack unless a teacher explicitly permits their use for instructional purposes. Taking videos or pictures is prohibited at all times unless required for a class activity. Students using devices without permission will have them confiscated, and repeat offenses may lead to the loss of all electronic privileges for the remainder of the year. Legal guardians can retrieve confiscated devices from the front office at the end of the school day, and further disciplinary action may follow according to Chapter 19 guidelines. The CKMS guidelines align with the 2026-27 HIDOE Cell Phone Policy 301-11.
