Student Device Policy Update

To maintain a focused and secure learning environment, students are required to turn off personal phones during the school hours.  These devices should be stored securely in a designated area, such as their backpacks. Watches may remain on their wrists while on silent and can not be used for communication during the school day. If students choose not to follow these guidelines, the following warning system will be implemented:

Warning System:

  1. First: A verbal warning will be given directly to the students
  2. Second: A phone call will be made to the student’s parents/guardians
  3. Third: The student’s device will need to stay in their backpack during the school day.

If a student needs to contact their parents, they may go to the office to make the call.  Our school has a health clerk on staff to assist with any issues related to health, whether a student is feeling unwell or injured. Parents are always welcome to contact the school office.

These procedures are in place to ensure the safety and security of our school community in a timely manner.
