Technology at School
At Belfast we are fortunate to have ample technology available to
students for learning in the classrooms. It is expected that students who
have cell phones/Ipods/tablets keep them in their backpacks from the time they
arrive at school until dismissal. Students that have their devices on
them between 8:30 AM - 3:15 PM will have the device removed and kept in the
office until a parent/guardian is able to come and pick it up. Reminder:
Grade 5 / 6 students attending Outdoor School are expected to leave all
technology at home.
The following 2 links will direct you to Belfast School’s website &
outline our policies more:
Thank you for reviewing these & outline the specific expectations
with your student(s).
