Portable Electronic Devices--UPDATED for 2024-25 School Year

During the July 2024 CCPS Board of Education meeting, the Administrative Regulations for Board Policy JICJ: Portable Electronic Devices were updated.

We recognize and respect that whether or not a student has a personally owned portable electronic device is a family decision. Students are not required or expected to bring their own device to school. Students may bring their personally owned devices to schools, as long as they abide by these regulations. Student misuse of his or her device shall result in disciplinary action. Families are expected to work collaboratively with school staff to support the implementation of these regulations. Parents who need to make emergency contact with their child during the school day shall contact the school’s main office.

Students in Elementary School

1. Devices must be silenced and stored (out of sight) upon entry to the school until exit from the school. It is highly recommended that elementary students do not bring personally owned portable electronic devices to school or on the school bus.

2. No portable electronic device shall be used to record, store, or transmit any type of image, sound, or video except for approved instructional activities utilizing CCPS-provided devices with the express permission of school staff.

3. The audible notification sounds and volume of personally owned portable electronic devices shall be silenced or directed through headphones on school buses. It is highly recommended that elementary students do not bring personally owned portable electronic devices to school or on the school bus.

4. Disciplinary action, as outlined in the Carroll County Public Schools student services manual, shall be taken when a student fails to follow the directions of a staff member regarding portable electronic devices or if a preponderance of evidence exists that the student has violated the terms of the acceptable use procedures and guidelines or other school policy.

STUDENT LAPTOPS

Student Laptop Agreement

*NEW THIS YEAR* Only students in grades 3-5 will be assigned a laptop at the start of the school year. Parents are required to sign a new Student Laptop Agreement (SLA) every school year. Starting on August 16th, an email containing the SLA will be sent to the primary parent/guardian listed for all students. Note: if the primary guardian does not have an email address, the app will send the email to the secondary guardian contact. Forms not completed electronically, can be completed via a paper agreement at school.

We will have paper SLAs available during our Open House and Back to School Night events. During this time, parents may wish to look at the laptop before signing.

Damage/Loss

Any damage, theft or loss of a device must be reported to the school immediately. In the event of theft, a police report must be filed, and the police report number must be provided to the school. Parents/guardians accept financial responsibility for costs related to abuse or neglect (both intentional and accidental) caused by their student and will be invoiced accordingly.

• Laptop repairs due to physical damage: $150

• Replacement laptop due to loss or severe damage: $300

• Replacement power adapter: $32
