At Dundurn School, we use various forms of technology for learning purposes. School technology is intended to be used for educational purposes.  Digital citizenship and digital media literacy will be taught and modeled for the responsible use of technology. 

We consider ourselves a “device free” school. Students are encouraged to leave their devices (including cell phones, smartwatches, iPads, earbuds, and gaming technology) at home.  If these items are brought to school, they are to be turned off or put on silent mode and stored away until the end of the day or kept in the teacher’s care/at the office, with exception for special allowances as prescribed by the teacher. Breakage, theft, or inappropriate use of these items is always a possibility and can be avoided by leaving these items at home.  

An exemption may be granted to students who have identified learning adaptations and/or medical restrictions or limitations. For more details, see Prairie Spirit School Division Administrative Procedure 437 Student Use of Personal Electronic Devices.
