All students in WJCC Schools will receive a device with a division-provided case for protection. Devices will not be issued until all necessary paperwork is completed and turned in.

Students will use their devices for educational purposes only, and at the direction of the teacher. Students will use their device to complete assignments, access classroom materials, research, create projects, and enhance overall learning.

Use of the devices will allow:

• Students to build information and media literacy skills, including analyzing and evaluating resources, which is critical for 21^st century citizens
• Students to participate in engaged, active learning
• Students to utilize technology tools that facilitate opportunities for students to create, interact, and collaborate
• Students to interact with material in different, unique ways to meet their specific learning needs

It is expected that the students will use the devices for educational purposes, for example: completing homework and conducting research.  Every student will also be expected to agree and sign the Student Memorandum of Understanding and Responsible Use for Devices.

Although it is not required it is highly encouraged because teachers will be using the devices as part of their daily lessons.  Students will also be asked to complete electronic work from home; however, there will be an Opt Out Form available for parents and students to sign.  The form will give parents two options: to either opt-out of the program completely or to allow student access at school but not to bring device home with them.

No, there is not a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy in place at any WJCC school. If a student does not participate in the 1:1 device program, they will use school issued technology if available for assignment completion.

No, only division-loaded software may be used.

Students should be instructed to use their devices only when completing a specific instructional task. Teachers should always be mindful of what students are doing during class and have been provided with device monitoring software for management purposes.

Parents will be asked to compensate the division for device damage that is the result of intentional or neglectful actions.

Details are provided in the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and the WJCC Code of Conduct.

Not necessarily, but it is recommended that students have a means to back-up documents for future use (e.g. thumb drive) and earbuds or headphones. Additionally, some students prefer to use a mouse and therefore purchase a wireless mouse for use with their devices.

No, each student will log in with their individual username and password.  Parents are encouraged monitor their child’s usage and progress.

No, devices and chargers will be returned at the end of the school year for repairs and preparation for the upcoming school year.
