PERSONALLY OWNED DEVICES [PODs]
As we strive to deliver a World-Class Education for our students, we know allowing students to use digital tools can open more and more learning opportunities in our classrooms. That is why the District is launching an effort to allow students to use Personally Owned Devices (PODs). The goal is to leverage these devices, so that students have access to learning applications and online information throughout the school day, not just when they are in a computer lab or when using school-owned devices.
