Personal Devices

We would like to remind families that, consistent with Ministry of Education policy, St’a7mes will be working on implementing a personal device policy for the 2024/25 school year. Schools are required, as of September, implement the following: 

  • restrictions on the use of personal digital devices at school, including during hours of instruction;
  • use of personal digital devices for instructional purposes and digital literacy;
  • use of personal digital devices that is appropriate to a student’s age and developmental stage;

While we will work to create specific policy that works for our school, the following expectations will be in place as of September: 

  1. Students in Aya7ayulh Chet (Cultural Journeys) should not bring personal electronic devices to school unless it is a required support within an individualized education plan (IEP). 
  2. Students in Learning Expeditions, who bring a personal device to school, will be asked to place their device in a bin or holder provided by their teacher. No personal devices are to be used during instructional time unless under the direction of the classroom teacher. Accommodations will be made as needed within the context of a student's IEP.  

Families looking to connect with students during instructional time are asked to call the office and a message will be communicated to the student. We appreciate your support in this matter.
