PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES (PED's)
Personal electronic devices (PED) include, but are not limited to, smart phones/watches, laptops, tablets, earbuds, headphones, any audio-visual recording devices such as cameras, etc. The use of technology and personal electronic devices can serve as an educational tool, and can interfere with learning, our primary goal. In this classroom, only laptops or tablets are allowed, and only when authorized (unless explicitly permitted by Mr. Grande in a specific, limited situation). The guidelines here are consistent with school rules as stated in the student handbook.
Laptops and tablets will be used for class work. However, when Mr. Grande asks that they be lowered, students must comply. Further, they may only be used for classwork, not communicating with others (including caregivers and parents) for anything but classwork.
Beginning week 3:
Students using PEDs while in class without permission can have their PEDs confiscated by their teacher for the remainder of the period.
