Expectations for Cell Phones and other Personal Devices in school:
The following guidelines will be in place for September and part of Seycove's Code of Conduct:
All students in the school community are expected to leave personal digital devices at home or in their locker during instructional time. Allowances may be made by the staff for instructional purposes, digital literacy, appropriate use based on age and developmental stage, accommodations within a student's Individualized Education Plan, accessibility, medical and health needs, and/or equitable support for learning outcomes.
If a staff member sees a student's device out without permission, the phone may be kept with the teacher or at the office for the day. Recognizing we are in a time of transition, we will continue to instruct expected behaviour and have conversations about the WHY behind the policy when speaking to students.
If you need to contact your child during the day, please call 604 903 3666 to speak to our office staff so that they may direct you to the appropriate staff member or course of action. The Seycove staff are committed to enabling focused instructional time, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we strive to create the best possible educational environment for all students.
