BYOD 6th Grade Policy:Students will be told when BYOD is planned for a class.• Students will be sent to their locker to retrieve their device at the beginning of that class period. When that class is over, the student will be sent to their locker again, to place the device back for safe keeping.• Students will be told how they may use their device for that class ONLY.• BYOD is under the same internet restrictions as the entire school.• Any unauthorized use of the device will cause the teacher to collect the device and turn it into the front office administrators.• A parent/guardian will then have to come to the school to pick up the device.• Any student whose device has been turned in to the front office, will forfeit their opportunity to use BYOD in any class for the remainder of the year.
