PURPOSE: Monroe County Schools and its programs allow students the option of bringing in a
personal electronic device (also considered a device capable of making cellular calls and accessing
internet data, netbook, ipod touch, macbook, or iPad) as a means to enhance their education. The
purpose of these guidelines is to assure students recognize limitations the school imposes on their
use of these devices. In addition to these guidelines, the use of any computer in school, including
laptop computers, requiresstudents to abide by the District Acceptable Use Policy. A signed District
Acceptable Use Policy must be on file for the student to qualify to bring a personal electronic device
to school.
During the course of the school year, additional rules regarding the use of personal electronic
devices may be added. If this occurs, any new rule will become a part of this policy.

device in Monroe County Schools
• To hold the Monroe County School District harmless in the event of theft, damage, loss, or confiscation

• It is understood that connection to third party access point or the establishment of ad‐hoc network
access via home or other internet devices is not permitted.
• That using my device at school is a privilege and can be revoked at any time.
• Understand this agreement can be modified at any time and a new agreement would need to be signed.
Students and their parents/guardians wishing to take advantage of this program must comply with all rules and
