​PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE USED WITH WI-FI NETWORK STUDENT AGREEMENT

Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board policies and procedures support the use of personal electronic devices (PEDs) for educational purposes. This agreement will be signed when your child registers to attend a school within Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.

In compliance with the Catholic Code of Conduct and other board policies and procedures including, but not limited to the Student
Network User Application and Agreement, any student opting to use a PED while on school premises for educational purposes is required to adhere to the following:

1. We understand that if I bring my PED to school I must follow board and school policies and procedures regarding appropriate
   use of technology.
2. We will be a responsible digital citizen by adhering to guidelines regarding content, security, safety and ethical use through
   appropriate use of technology, as outlined in the Catholic Code of Conduct and other board policies and procedures.
3. We will accurately represent myself while online and that my online interactions are reflective of our Gospel values and virtues.
4. We understand that PEDs may be used during instructional time and in instructional space only with the expressed permission
   of the classroom teacher and/or staff and only in a manner that supports the teaching-learning process.
5. We understand that I may use my PED in common areas for educational purposes, as designated by the principal.
6. We will not share my password with others and I will respect the privacy of other people. I will not share other people’s
   passwords or personal information.
7. We understand that upon reasonable grounds, staff reserve the right to review material viewed, created or saved on my
   authorized registered PED and/or other personal electronic devices.
8. We understand that no school and/or board data is allowed to be stored on PEDs.
9. We will not use my PED in a manner that will harm the board’s system or another person's work.
10. We understand that if I bring my PED for use on board premises I am responsible for the safety and security of that device at all
    times and the board assumes no responsibility for lost, damaged or stolen devices.
11. We understand that we should not have the expectation to be able to charge our device at school.
12. We understand that photos, videos or images of an individual/group are not permitted to be taken without expressed consent.
    Expressed consent must be obtained from the individual(s) - over the age of 18—or parental/guardian consent (for those under
    the age of 18).
13. We understand the school administration will be the arbiter of what constitutes a violation of this agreement. Any failure to
    comply with these guidelines may result in confiscation of my PED, discipline, a loss of PED privileges, police involvement and/or
    any other consequences deemed necessary by school administration.
14. We agree, by virtue of access to the board’s computing and electronic communication systems, to indemnify, defend and hold
    harmless the board for any suits, claims, losses, expenses or damages, including but not limited to litigation costs and legal fees,
    arising from or related to the user’s access to or use of board electronic communication and computing systems, services and
    facilities.
