New cell phone policy in BC schools, from BC Ministry of Education

Personal Digital Device Usage

Personal digital device- phone, tablet, laptop

 

“To foster a safe and focused learning environment for students, the use of personal digital devices, that distract from learning, such as cell phones, tablets and electronic devices, are restricted during school hours and on school property. Educators and school staff will continue to model digital citizenship in the classroom and avoid the use of personal digital devices for non-instructional purposes.

The expectation is that students and teachers will follow the personal digital device policy and school guidelines.
