A commenter at a school meeting described limits on students’ personal cellphones and other internet‑connected devices during the school day, saying the devices should not connect to the internet while on campus and are allowed only for approved instructional purposes or in emergencies. The commenter said the restriction applies during class time, lunch, recess, study periods and transitions, and that devices should be kept silent and stored in students’ backpacks when not in use for instruction. "Airplane mode only" was specified for devices used for learning, the commenter said. The speaker also said the school will provide a device or other assistance in cases of emergency and that parents can reach the main office if they need to contact a student. The commenter directed listeners to the school's website for more information and to "caler toutes les mémoires" as a way to reconcile remaining questions. No formal motion, vote or policy adoption was recorded in the transcript provided.
