Technology Policy

1. "If you don't finish today's classwork on the computer,

tomorrow you're using paper." The opportunity to use
technology/ computers in the classroom is a privilege,
not a right.
2. Students in my classroom will be provided access to
technology in classrooms, Library Media Centers, and
labs for educational purposes. Students must follow the
established guidelines for acceptable use of technology
in order to maintain the privilege of access to
technology.
3. Students may not use any hand held devices in the
classroom (cell phones, smart phones, smart watches,
MP3 players/iPods, tablets/iPads cameras, etc.) without
the explicit permission of the teacher. All hand held
devices should be turned off and packed away during
class and school hours. If you need to get ahold of your
child you may call or contact the office and
communicate to your student in that way.
