Personal Electronics Devices

At École Lloyd George Elementary, students are not permitted to use any personal digital devices at any time during the school day, from the start of the school day to its conclusion, unless explicit permission is granted by their teacher or the school Principal/Vice-Principal.  Permission could be granted for the purpose of inclusion, equity, or medical and health needs.  The personal electronic devices, if necessary, must stay in the student’s backpack or locker.  It may not be kept in a student's pocket or desk.  This policy ensures that students remain focused and engaged in their learning throughout the day.  If a student is found using a personal electronic device between the start of the school day and its conclusion, the Principal/Vice-Principal will be notifying the parents as a first step. 

Please be assured that your child is under constant supervision while at school.  For any urgent communication needs, the school will reach out to you directly or if there is a need to communicate with us, we can be reached between 8:00 am and 3:30 pm.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
