Cell Phone Use in School
Guidelines:
Cell phones may only be used before school hours outside the school building.
During the school day, cell phones must be turned off and stored out of sight in student lockers.
After school hours, students are only to use their cell phones within the school to contact their parents.
Cell phones are permitted for student use during downtown lunch periods (Grades 7 & 8 ONLY).
At no time will the use of the camera or video function of cell phones be permitted in the school.
Failure to comply with these restrictions will result in the loss of the privilege
Laptop Use During Academic Periods
Guidelines:
Students are expected to use their school issued laptops for class related purposes only at the discretion of the classroom teacher. Any other use of the computer which distracts the student from classroom related is deemed unacceptable. Students who struggle to comply to teacher requests related to laptop use will be subject to a blocking plan which limits internet usage on an individual basis. Computer can be repossessed by the school if there is continued misuse.
Bypassing Security Systems
Guidelines:
Using work-arounds to bypass our secure internet filter is a serious violation of school policy. Doing so does not just affect you—it puts our entire school network at risk. These actions can open the door for outside threats, including unauthorized access to gaming platforms and other unapproved websites.
By attempting to bypass security systems, you are compromising the safety of student and staff data.
Any student caught engaging in this behavior will face disciplinary consequences. Please use our technology responsibly and follow all digital safety rules.
