WCPSS POLICIES
- The BYOD program is not a requirement. All students will be provided needed access to devices, networks, or the Internet when learning requirements demand it.
- Principals, teachers, and/or staff are not liable for any BYOD device that is stolen or damaged. Responsibility to keep the device secure rests with the individual owner. Students will take full responsibility for their devices. Therefore we recommend using protective skins or cases for easy identification and protection.
- Parents/Guardians must fill out the WCPSS Technology and Digital Resource Use Consent Form as well as a BYOD Contract and return it to your child's teacher before sending in a device.

- Students are expected to respect the privacy of others. Students are not permitted to take or post photographs/videos of any person on campus to public or social networking sites for personal reasons.
