When may I use my device?

• You may use your device before or after school, during lunch, and when your teacher asks you to use it in class. Your classroom teacher is the one who determines whether or not you will be needing your device during his/her class period.

How do I connect to the BYOD network? 

• It is a hidden network.  Directions will be posted in each classroom.

Do I need to pay for any special applications or programs for my device?

• WCPSS will be providing Google accounts with Google Apps for Education for all students. Most other tools will be web-based and should not cost anything.

If I have stored some of my work on my student drive (H) at school, how do I access it from home?

• You cannot access work at home from your student drive (H - identified by your student number). However, if you store your work in your Google Drive, you will be able to access it from any computer anywhere.

What if my device is damaged or stolen?

• Because BYOD is not a requirement, you are responsible for your own device. Neither North Wake College and Career Academy  nor WCPSS is responsible for damaged, lost or stolen devices. Your parents may want to insure your device, and if you are purchasing a new device, you may want to purchase the extended warranty.

Why can't I use my 3G/4G network during school?

• The wireless network provided by North Wake College and Career Academy and WCPSS has security and filters that make internet access safer and purposed for learning.

What if I don't have a device to bring to school?

• Students without devices either will be provided a device to use while in class or will be paired with a group. No one will be penalized for not bring a device!
