Digital devices are prohibited from the testing environment. If your student has a device, it is recommended to keep the device at home. If any student brings a digital device to school, it must be turned in before each assessment.
Auburn City Schools Digital Device Policy
Students shall not possess any digital device within the testing room when participating in Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP) testing. The possession of a digital device by students participating in ACAP testing is strictly prohibited during the administration of a test. The ONLY exception to this policy is for students who have been pre-approved by the Building Test Coordinator or the Principal to have a digital device that is necessary for the health and/or well-being of the student (medical purposes only). If students are in possession of a digital device that is within their reach during the administration of an ACAP test, the device will be confiscated and, if the appropriate administrator determines that there is reasonable suspicion that the device was used to capture, record, or share test information or to facilitate cheating on the test, it may be subject to search pursuant to ACS policy for any information directly related to the ACAP test being administered. Additionally, the student will be dismissed from testing immediately and the test may be invalidated in accordance with ACAP policy. Violation(s) may result in disciplinary action by ACS in accordance with the ACS’ disciplinary policy.
