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 during instructional hours.
When some students head back to school in the new year, they will also face a new NLSchools Responsible Student Use of Personal Electronic Devices Policy. It comes into effect January 6th. Under the policy students in grades K-6 are encouraged not to bring personal electronic devices to school and will not have access to devices during school hours. 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 during instructional hours. Students can access their devices during recess and lunch breaks. Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell says over 13,000 participants provided feedback, and 40 percent were students. Individual exemptions to the policy may be provided for medical and educational reasons.
