Dear Pense School Families,
Welcome back Pense School families. We hope you’ve had a great summer and that you’re as excited about the upcoming school year as we are.
Starting this year, the Government of Saskatchewan has implemented a policy restricting the use of personal electronic devices in schools. Regardless of grade, students will not be permitted to use personal electronic devices during instructional time. Personal electronic devices include smartphones, cell phones, tablets, and computers. If you need to reach your child because of an emergency during the school day, please call the office at (306)345-2311, as we will get you in touch with your child.
Some students may require the use of a personal electronic device due to medical or additional needs. For information about obtaining an exemption for a student, please reach out to our office.
Prairie Valley School Division’s administrative procedure, AP-1302: Student Personal Electronic Devices, outlining the use of personal electronic devices at all Prairie Valley schools is available on the Prairie Valley website. In addition to providing direction related to students’ use of personal electronic devices, this document provides guidelines regarding school staff members’ responsibilities with respect to the use of personal electronic devices.
Consequences for inappropriate use of personal electronic devices are outlined in our student code of conduct.
Please reach out to our office if you have any questions.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back next week and we’re excited for a great 2024-2025 school year.
