Use of Personal Digital Data Devices (from our Code of Conduct)
- Students only use school-owned digital data devices (devices that can access the internet) for instructional purposes and digital literacy appropriate to the student’s age and developmental stage while on school property. During hours of instruction and aligned to our school’s expectations related to personal digital data devices:
- Students are required to keep personal digital devices in their lockers upon arrival to school and for the duration of the school day. Students unable or unwilling to comply with this school-wide requirement will have their personal devices managed in the centre by the Trafalgar admin team. Students are not permitted to use their own devices for learning tasks including listening to music as the school provides those devices and network access for them.
- Access to the Internet will consider equity and hardship to foster connection with peers and access to opportunities for personal achievement.
- The use of personal digital devices for students with disabilities or diverse abilities will be outlined in students’ Individual Education Plans, such as the use of assistive technology on personal digital devices at school to support student accessibility, communication, and autonomy and to facilitate participation and promote accessibility. This includes supporting the use of personal digital devices that monitor and support medical necessities.
