Beavercreek High School BYOD Orientation

BYOD BHS and FH students can access digital resources through the district’s Wi-Fi network by utilizing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative. BYOD allows students the flexibility to decide which type of personal device provides the best means of working on their academic studies.

BYOD Students can responsibly use their devices before and after school, between classes and during lunchtime.

BYOD Students can also use their devices during class with teacher permission. Each teacher is responsible for creating a BYOD policy for their classroom and informing students of when it is and is not acceptable to use their devices.

BYOD Appropriate use of devices during the school day includes: Research Problem solving Word processing Data entry Contacting teachers Collaborating on class projects

BYOD Inappropriate use of devices during the school day includes: Taking pictures/video Making phone calls Texting Accessing social media Playing games Viewing non-academic content

BYOD Refer to pages 18 and 19 in the student handbook for additional information about the acceptable use of devices during the school day.

Responsibility Because BYOD utilizes personal devices, each student is responsible for making sure their device is charged, available when they want it and kept secure during the school day. BCS is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged devices.
