This program will now include all students K-5th Grade for the 2020-2021 school year upon returning to in-person learning .

Olive Chapel Elementary is part of the Wake County Public School System’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program.

The BYOD Program at Olive Chapel Elementary involves students, teachers, parents, and administrators working together to create a technologically advanced learning environment. This initiative will allow students to bring their own internet-based devices: laptops, ChromeBooks, and iPads, into the classroom. Students will also now be able to bring their WCPSS assigned Chromebooks that were distributed Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 for remote learning.

These devices will be used at the discretion of individual teachers, specialists, and administrators to enhance lessons and learning at Olive Chapel Elementary. Teachers will incorporate devices at appropriate points within their lessons to enhance students in thinking critically, visibly, and globally in the classroom. BYOD will grant students the privilege to use their WCPSS assigned device or their personal devices in the classroom.

If school-owned devices are still available in a school, these cannot be used as shared devices in classrooms due to Health and Safety Guidance. Schools can choose to assign a school-owned device for a student’s in-school use; however, the device needs to be cleaned before and after a student uses the device. These devices will not be checked out to students, they will remain at school.
