The following information comes directly from the Peel District School Board's Website: http://intranet.peelschools.org/21stcentury/Policies/Pages/default.aspx
The Peel District School Board is committed to providing and maintaining safe and appropriate environments conductive to learning and working for all. To improve student success and achievement, we must ensure students feel safe, welcomed, respected and included.
We want our students to be well-prepared to be successful in an evolving society. Fundamental to such success is the ability to use technology responsibly to gather, evaluate, construct and share knowledge in a 21st Century world. It is imperative that we support our students as 21st Century learners, as well as digital citizens.
The policy is aligned with and supports the principles and expectations of the board’s Policy #51 - Human Rights and Policy #54 - Equity and Inclusive Education. At all times, this Code should be interpreted to be consistent with the board’s policies and the Ontario Human Rights Code.
Policy #78 – Digital Citizenship, which updates and replaces Policy #78 – Appropriate Use of Technology. The Digital Citizenship policy supports the principles and expectations of the board’sPolicy #48 - Safe Schools Policy and the board’s character attributes—caring, respect, cooperation, honesty, responsibility, inclusion—to create positive climates for learning and working, and school Codes of Conduct.
Codes of Conduct (elementary and secondary) have been updated to reflect digital citizenship and responsibility, and the board’s vision for 21st Century Teaching & Learning.

Regarding the USE OF TECHNOLOGY, the PDSB Code of Conduct states:
[Name of school] recognizes the value of using Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) to enhance 21st Century learning to support curriculum delivery. As such, we embrace the use of PEDs in a respectful and responsible manner, in keeping with the school’s Code of Conduct and the Peel District School Board’s Digital Citizenship Policy #78. The Code of Conduct and academic integrity apply to the use of technology whether students are accessing information from school, home or from a PED.
Students are able to use Board technology and their PEDs for educational purposes in classrooms, libraries, cafeterias/lunchrooms and other areas students gather to do their work, as outlined in the expectations below:
· PEDs may be used in the classroom only with permission of a teacher or other staff member.
· PEDs may be used outside the classroom as long as these devices do not distract from school activities.
· As a result of bandwidth limitations, downloading or streaming of video content for non-educational purposes is not permitted.
· PEDs may only be used to make and/or receive phone calls or texts in the [location] unless a teacher or staff member provides permission to do so elsewhere.
· Students need to be diligent about safely storing their PEDs. [Name of school] is not responsible for lost, stolen and/or damaged PEDs.
· Keep personal information private (e.g. age, address, phone numbers, usernames, passwords) unless approved by a teacher and/or a parent.
· Use good judgment in accessing material on the Internet, and report suspicious concerns to a teacher immediately.
· Create, display, use and store messages, images and videos appropriately while demonstrating respect, e.g. no cyber-bullying or using others’ passwords.
· PEDs may not be used for any communication or for taking photographs/video unless permission is granted by a teacher or other staff member.
· Posting photographs and/or images on the Internet (including social network sites) without teacher and/or parent permission violates the Code of Conduct.
· With respect to Board technology, never download or install any software without the permission of your teacher.
· Do not use Board technology resources to store materials not relevant to educational purposes.
· Users should not expect privacy with respect to any of their activities when using the Board’s technology resources.
We have clear expectations around the appropriate, respectful use of technology. Inappropriate use of Board technology and/or PEDs may result in discipline or having the use of these services suspended or removed.
