Reminder About Personal Mobile Devices
In all CBE Schools, K-9 Students are not permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and either powered off or set to silent. They should be left in backpacks or areas designated by teachers or better yet - simply left at home.
What are personal mobile devices?
Any device that can be used to communicate with or access the internet, such as a cell phone, tablet, gaming device, laptop or smartwatch. This also includes devices capable of communicating with a mobile device such as headphones and Bluetooth devices (e.g. earbuds and speakers.)
Other Important Information
If a staff member finds that a student is using a personal mobile device at school, they will put it in a safe place until the end of the day and contact the parents.
If parents need to contact their child, they can call the office and a message can be given to the child.
If students would like to call a parent, they can go to the office and a staff member can help them use a school phone.
Here is CBE's policy about Personal Mobile Devices: PMD
Truth and Reconciliation Learning Activities
This week, all classes learned about Phyllis Webstad and Orange Shirt Day and how we can respect and take care of all children. Mrs. Paul ended the week with an amazing assembly and we all learned a new song by an Indigenous artist.
Here is a sampling of some of the thoughtful work by some of our classes.
