Student iPad Use Guidelines

iPad Use Guidelines for Students

Yarmouth Elementary School

Belief Statement: The Yarmouth School Department provides technology, networks, and Internet access to support the educational mission of the schools and to enhance teaching and learning opportunities for students and school staff.


  • Student use of Yarmouth Elementary computers, tablets, networks and Internet services is a privilege, not a right.
  • Teachers at Yarmouth Elementary School monitor technology and Internet activity by students, and students are expected to follow all access rules.
  • Unacceptable use or activity may result in a change in access to technology by a student.
