  • DO STUDENTS USE THE DEVICE IN ALL CLASSES?

    Posted by: West Fargo Public Schools

    West Fargo teachers have the discretion of allowing or not allowing the use of electronic devices during instructional time. The versatility of the device's touch screen and built in keyboard make it an ideal tool for all subjects, from art to history.

    When teachers permit the use of electronic devices, students must adhere to district technology policies, use the devices for educational purposes only, and must not cause a distraction or disruption to the learning environment.
