At Haultain Memorial School we will ensure the safety of all students by following the principles of respect when working with educational technology. This will ensure that we are using digital information and technology resources in a responsible way. We use the CBE Digital Citizenship Competencies to guide us in developing effective digital literacy in our students.

In keeping with the Three Pillars of Care at Haultain Memorial School, students are taught to: 

1.      Take Care of Themselves 

• I can keep my CBE account passwords and other personal information private.
• I can tell my teacher if something on an electronic device makes me feel uncomfortable or is inappropriate.
• I know that caring for a personally owned device is the responsibility of the owner. 

2.      Take Care of Each Other 

• I can be respectful and inclusive in my words and actions.
• I can respect the property and the creative work of others.
• I can respect the rights of other people and ask for permission to record or post anything about them.
• I can protect and respect the personal information of others.
• I can use my time responsibly when using technology for learning.

3.      Take Care of This Place 

• I can maintain equipment so that it is ready to be used by others.
• I can use technology that supports learning and do so according to my teacher’s instructions.
• I can report any problems with technology equipment as soon as I see them.

Away for the Day | Personal Devices 

In accordance with the Ministerial Order, K-9 students are not permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and powered off before entering the school building. They should be left in backpacks or simply left at home. Exceptions may apply for students using devices for health and medical needs and to support specialized learning needs. If you or your child chooses to bring personal devices to school, please be aware that the school is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal devices. The Student Personal Mobile Device policy was effective as of the first day of school.
