Technology and BYOD
-
At Centennial our students are fortunate to have access to technology in most of their classes. In both 7th and 8th grade, students have access to laptops in a 1:1 environment, meaning that the teachers can integrate technology as frequently as they would like. In 6th grade, students have access to laptops in a 1:2 environment. All students are asked to review and sign the Technology Guidelines and Contract each year prior to utilizing any technology at school.
It is not necessary for students to bring personally owned devices to school, given the amount of technology provided in the building for student use. Occasionally, however, a student prefers to use a personal device rather than a school device. In this case, students are permitted to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to use in classes. A WCPSS BYOD form is required for any student planning to use a personal device at school.
