Technology Use

As online schooling relies heavily on technology, students should adhere to guidelines

on the appropriate use of devices and software provided by our school. This may include

not tampering with school-provided devices, following internet safety protocols, and

using technology for educational purposes only during school hours. We emphasize the

importance of maintaining privacy, not sharing login credentials, and reporting any

potential security concerns.
