Tech

When possible, we prefer that children only use the technology devices available at the program and refrain from bringing their own devices, including cell phones, to the program. Parents are responsible for ensuring personal devices contain age appropriate games and applications. Parents are reminded that the program is not responsible for damaged, missing, or stolen personal technology devices. Program personnel may enforce additional guidelines limiting or prohibiting the possession and use of portable electronic devices as appropriate to program needs. Staff shall account for children and ensure they know children’s location by providing active supervision and conducting regular headcounts while children are using personal technology devices. Children are supervised at all times by an assigned staff member.

Children are not permitted to use personal technology devices (Fridays only) during program time unless specific permission is granted by BASE staff for the purpose of a program activity or homework assistance. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in the phone/tablet being collected by BASE staff and returned to a parent/guardian at dismissal.
