BYOD Safety and Security

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Before Bringing a Device to School:

• Students must return a Student BYOD Agreement. This agreement must be signed by the student and by a parent/carer.

• Devices must be labeled for identification purposes.

• Devices must have a protective casing.

Student Responsibilities:

• Ensure that devices are fully charged before bringing them to school.

• Ensure the device is safe and secure during travel to and from school.

Security of Devices at School:

• Students are responsible for exercising common sense when carrying their devices at school.

• Students who arrive before 8.30 am are required to store their devices in their school bags. The use of the iPad is not allowed.

• Students carry devices into classrooms when lessons commence.

• Classrooms are locked at all times during lunch and recess when a teacher is not present.

• Students are not permitted to take their devices into the playground at lunch or recess.

• Students are not permitted to use their devices at school after 3:30 pm, including those who wait for pick-up.

A reminder also, International School of Monza will not be responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to the device, while the device is at school or during a school-related activity. In cases of malicious damage or theft of another student's device, existing school processes for damage to schools or another student's property apply.

Parents and students can find further information about our BYOD school policy and implementation guidelines through the school website which has information regularly updated, and the newsletters.

Your support of this new technology model for our school is very much appreciated. Parent feedback and consultation are very important to us, and we welcome input from our school community. If you have any questions or concerns about BYOD, please contact the school office to make an appointment to speak to the Principal, Program Coordinators, and the Educational IT Systems Coordinator.
