Technology
To avoid students being off-task and missing learning opportunities, the math department is not allowing phones for calculators nor chromebooks for calculators. They are also not allowed on standardized tests. Phones/headphones may not be in sight at any time during the hour. Chromebooks will be used on class assignments when the teacher has instructed to use them. Students may access the textbook online when not in the math classroom. Students’ devices will be taken and turned into the office if they are not following policy.
