Mobile Devices (including enabled watches)
We understand that , particularly as our pupils get older, many parents/carers view mobile devices as an essential means of communication. Mobile devices must be switched off during the school day. If, for example in an emergency, a mobile device needed to be used in the playground before or after school this should be done discreetly and photographs should not be taken.
Pupils should hand their device to their class teacher or school office upon arrival/ at the start of the school day. All devices will be locked away in the school office and will be returned to pupils at the end of the school day. Pupils will not be permitted to carry mobile devices on school trips. Mobile devices may not be used at breakfast clubs or at any afterschool clubs.
Parents/carers who want their children to bring a mobile device to school for use before/after the school day must recognise that the device will be stored by the office however the school is not insured for personal belongings and mobile devices are brought into school at owner’s risk.
Staff at Craigroyston Primary name have engaged with CEC Social Media Guidelines and as such, understand the benefits and risks of using social media as a way to positively represent the general life of a school.
We encourage parents and carers to interact on social media with the same respect and kindness as we would in real life.
