Student Owned Device Consent

USE OF STUDENT OWNED DEVICES (SODS)

Background

BC’s Education Plan encourages smart use of technology in schools, better preparing students to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Students will have more opportunity to develop the competencies needed to use current and emerging technologies effectively, both in school and in life.

Although Norma Rose Point Middle School has devices for sharing, we recognize the benefits and welcome the use of privately owned personal devices within the school’s communications network. If students choose to bring a device to school, he/she must agree to:

. adhere fully to VSB’s Acceptable Use Policy (previously signed in consent package at the beginning of the school year). . only use their camera function for instructional purposes. Cameras must NEVER be used during recess, lunch, in washrooms or dressing rooms. This is a serious privacy offence and will be treated with a major consequence and zero tolerance. . respectful behavior. Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect at all times.

Norma Rose Point Middle School and Staff will be assisting your child to the best of our ability. However, we are NOT responsible for:

. Repair of privately owned computers/electronic devices (hardware or software) . Compatibility problems with its networks, computers, and software . Network connectivity problems . Theft of or damage to privately owned computers/devices, software, or data . Providing licenses for software used on privately owned computers/devices

Procedures:

Once the signed consent is returned to the teacher, the student will be able to log in with the school provided username and password. To Be Returned to the Teacher
