Students in grade 7 to level 4 who bring a personal electronic device to school must switch it off and store it out of sight.
Government is proposing an updated Personal Electronic Devices Policy for English K-12 public schools. Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell is encouraging school communities to review the proposed policy and share feedback. It will reduce the impact of inappropriate personal electronic device usage, such as cell phones, on learning. Under the revamped policy, K-6 students will not be permitted to have personal electronic devices in schools; and, students in grade 7 to level 4 who bring a personal electronic device to school must switch it off and store it out of sight. Exceptions may be provided for medical reasons such as glucose monitoring. School communities, including parents/guardians, teachers, and grade 7 to level 4 students, are encouraged to share feedback by December 6th. A final decision related to the policy will be made in time for implementation upon return to classes after the holiday break on January 6th.
