BYOD Program. Our community believes that electronic devices are valuable resources to support and enrich the curriculum and school community. The benefits of these devices outweigh the potential disadvantages for students. It is the philosophy of our school community to teach and model responsible device and resource use in a developmentally appropriate manner. The community feels that acceptable use of technology lies in behavior, not technology. However, care should be taken that technology is not used to the detriment of face-to-face social interaction.
