Technology Use: Personal Devices

Although the school does NOT require personal devices, students may bring their own to school. We recognize the increasingly important role technology plays in our daily lives. Students will be allowed, with parent support, to bring their technology (phones/ tablets) to school with the understanding that it will be placed in lockers or backpacks for the day. If a child needs to connect with home, they can do so through the office.

Students are allowed to bring their own Chromebooks/Laptops to school to use for educational purposes in class, with teacher direction.

Technology Zones (okay to use devices) 

No Technology Zones ( put your technology away)

  • In classrooms, with teacher direction

  •   In classrooms, unknown to teacher

  •  In lunch areas during nutrition breaks (gallery, classrooms)

  • In washrooms

  • In hallways or out on the yard

If a student is found to be misusing technology:

  • 1st time: Warning – staff will remind them of the expectations

  • 2nd time: Action – staff will direct the student to take their device to the office for safe keeping. Student may pick it up at the end of the day.

  • 3rd time: Action – staff will direct student to take technology to the office. Parents will be required to pick it up from the office

Please review this with your children if they are to be bringing devices to school. Our school is not responsible for lost or damaged items or for the supervision of the content in electronic devices brought to school. Please talk to your child about digital responsibility before they bring electronic devices to school.

  • Note: depending of the type of misuse, parents may be required to pick up their child’s device at any point.

As always, please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
