Cell Phones at school
Grade 5s and 6s
Students are encouraged to keep their personal devices at home. If they do decide to bring one to school they are expected to keep it in their backpack, pocket and not take it out in the school during the school day.
Grade 7s and 8s
It is important that we teach kids how to use these devices as something that can help them with school and when they get to high school it’s something they can have at school as a resource to support learning.
Grade 7 and 8 students can bring personal devices to school and if the classroom teacher allows, they can use them in class to help with their work. If these devices become a distraction, teachers will ask students to put the devices away or leave them with the teacher for the rest of the period/day (for the rest of the day if it’s a repeated issue). Parents may be asked to come pick up devices if they become a bigger distraction. Students are NOT required to bring personal devices and must have parent permission to do so.
Some important things that we will make sure kids are aware of are:
-no personal devices used in bathrooms/change rooms
-stay off social media sites while in class (Facebook, Snapchat etc. – lots of these apps have a minimum age of 13 so technically most of our kids shouldn’t have accounts yet…)
music/headphones only to be used in class with teacher permission only (not in the halls at all)
-Students who use their device at school are bound by the HSD Acceptable Use Policy that parents and kids sign upon registration to our school. Logging into the school network) Wi-Fi means that online activity can be reviewed if necessary.
