****Headphones are available in the classroom but if your child would like to bring their own “cheap” set, that is an option. It will be their responsibility to keep up with their set.
Internet Access:
Students will be utilizing the Internet throughout the year. The policy of the WFSCS School Board is that ALL STUDENTS may access the Internet during class time with a signed permission form from their parent/guardian. This form will be sent home through homerooms and must be signed and on file by the date specified on the form. If this form is not on file, your child will not have access to the Internet in this classroom until their form has been returned.
Students may use their personal learning devices (SmartPhones/tablets, etc.) at teacher/curriculum designated times. Failure to follow directions will result in the loss of this privilege.

A Clean and Healthy Lab: Because so many students touch the computer keyboards daily, it would be helpful to have antibacterial wipes available for each child to wipe off their keyboard and mouse before beginning their work. If at all possible, please consider sending in a carton of wipesand a box of tissuesto help keep our lab and students healthy. Thank you.
