All devices must go through the LCPS wireless network- this allows the internet access to be filtered at the district level (this will not effect your data plan)
Students may use their device only when a teacher has given them permission to use the device. Not for use at lunch or at recess.
Devices must remain in the open, visible at all times, and in the classroom
