Electronic Devices:
Last year new STATE laws were put into affect. I am sending a reminder of the policy on personal cell phones and smart watches.
Pender County Schools provides every child with a Chromebook, therefore personal technology devices are not approved for use at school. All personal cell phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc must be turned off and stored in the child’s backpack during the school day. If a device proves to be a distraction or is used during the school day, it can be confiscated. Please refer to PCS Board Policies 3220, 3221, 3225, 3226, and 4318 for policies related to student technology usage. Parents, please help us by not messaging your student during the school day. If there is an emergency, you may contact the office and we will be happy to help.
