MBYOD Information for Students & Parents:
- All students who have signed the BYOD Agreement will be permitted to bring an internet accessible device (laptop, tablet, phone, ipod—Apple/Android) device to school starting 2nd Quarter Fall 2017
- The expectation is that students will utilize the devices to enhance instructional activities.
- Students who do not have access to a device will have be provided opportunities to work with a school-owned device during instructional time.
- It is not the school's intention to be a 1:1 school, but instead to be a 3:1 school. (3 students for every 1 device)
- Student expectations are that they will carry the device on their body. When in class, the teacher will convey to students whether the device needs to be parked on desk or put away out of sight.
- Devices are the sole responsibility of the students. Technical support is the responsibility of the students and the parents.
- East Garner magnet Middle School is not liable for any lost, stolen or damaged devices. Wake County recommends that parents utilize some sort of tracking software to enable if needed.
- Confiscated devices (taken due to the fact that they are in use when they should be put away) will need to be retrieved by the parent. Multiple offenses may result in an administrative referral.
- Discipline: If devices are not being used appropriately, teachers will request the device. If the device is not surrendered at that time, an administrator will be called and disciplinary actions may follow.
- Students are responsible for ensuring that their device is charged at the beginning of each school day (bring fully charged devices to school). There will be no charging capability on campus.
