Personal Devices

Mobile Devices

Students must not use their personal electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, laptops, and tablets) during the instructional day. Please see below for more information about different expectations for different grade levels:  

• Students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 must have their devices stored out of view and powered off (or on silent mode) throughout the full instructional day (school day), including nutrition breaks unless permitted by the educator.  

Students are responsible for their personal mobile devices and how they use them. If an educator sees a personal mobile device not stored out of view and powered off, the student must hand it in for the instructional day (elementary) or instructional period (secondary). It will be placed by the student in a storage area in a location designated by the educator.
