NOTE TO PARENTS & STUDENTS:
Personal Digital Devices are defined as any personal electronic device that can be used to communicate or to access the internet, such as a cell phone, tablet, laptop, or smartwatch. These devices are important tools which can be used to enhance learning and prepare children for the world in which they will work and live. Personal digital devices provide support for children who rely on these tools to access learning through services such as translation, adaptations for Individual Education Plans, medical support, health needs, or to provide equity of access to resources. The classroom teacher is responsible for the learning environment in the classroom, for guiding children to use personal digital devices appropriately, and for determining when personal digital devices should be used.

This includes not using personal digital devices to engage or participate in bullying or harassment, discrimination, or defamation of character.

These devices should be used in a way that is respectful of other’s learning and does not distract others in terms of light, sound, or by other means.
