At the U School, we are proud to be a 21st century school and we promote responsible and thoughtful use of personal electronic devices. However, cell phones, iPods, mp3 players and other items should not interfere with the learning process. Personal use of electronic devices in learning spaces is allowed only with educator approval. Students who choose to use personal electronic devices in all other spaces on campus must follow the Acceptable Use Agreement.Teachers and School Staff reserve the right to confiscate a student’s device if it is interfering with class. Misuse of electronic devices will be handled in Possi, and repeated violations will be handled by our administrative team.
A device is an extension of the person using it, and therefore if used in a manner that violates the rules, expectations and norms of the school, the young person will own responsibility of the actions in accordance with our Student Intervention Plan. For example, an email, tweet, post, or any other communication made from home about a fellow student at the school will be treated as documentation of saying it directly.
- A device may not be used as accessories in any act of intimidation, indecent/sexual assault, burglary, vandalism, or illegal purchase.
Cell phones and other electronic devices should be off and away during class time unless they are sanctioned by your teacher.
