Chromebook Usage Rules
Under our 1:1 teaching and learning vision, the Chromebook issued to students in grade 6-12 is an extremely important instructional tool and resource. As such, it is imperative that students are vigilant in bringing their fully charged Chromebooks to class every day. Failure to do so will result in an unnecessary disruption of the instructional process and could lead to a student falling behind in their academic work. Due to the instructional importance attached to this device, students who neglect to bring their chromebooks to class on a daily basis will be subject to progressive disciplinary consequences. In addition, the following Code of Conduct does not address every potential form of inappropriate behavior. Those not cited in this document will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
