Our Vision: Ignite Passion. Inspire Excellence. Imagine Possibilities.

Dear D41 Community,

The District 41 School Board recently approved a new Student Use of Personal Technology policy. The policy and the Acceptable Use of Personal Technology Authorization Form was sent home with the children at the beginning of the week. Please sign the form and return it to your building office by this Friday, August 29. If the form is not signed and returned, the child will not be allowed to have personal technology on school grounds.

The final policy along with accompanying administrative procedure and exhibits can be found on the Board Policy page on our website.

Also, a reminder that we are offering two presentations about internet safety for parents on Thursday, August 28 and Tuesday, September 2. Please join us as we learn about "The Digital Age - Is my child ready?" presented by Police Officer Jeff Bean, digital law enforcement expert.

Thank you again to all who worked with us to create the policy and procedures around personal technology in our schools.

Paul Gordon

Superintendent
