Smartwatch Usage

Under the PRSD electronic device policy, personal devices, including smartwatches, are not permitted for use during the school day. We have noticed an increasing number of students using smartwatches to play games or message family members.

If your child wears a smartwatch, please ensure it is used strictly as a wristwatch during school hours. All essential communication must go through the front office or your child's teacher to minimize classroom distractions and ensure messages reach the right hands promptly.

Personal devices used inappropriately may be collected and held in the main office until the end of the school day. The PRSD discipline code will be followed.  Students were reminded of these expectations during the daily announcements.

District Issued Devices

The technology device provided to your student is an essential part of their learning experience. To help us maintain this valuable resource, we ask that you review the following key points of our technology policy with your student:

• Handle with care: Students are expected to handle their devices with care, keeping them safe from spills, drops, and other damage.
• Report all issues: If a device is lost, stolen, or damaged, it is critical that the student/family submits a tech ticket.

While we understand that accidents happen, our policy addresses repeated or intentional damage to district-issued technology. In these cases, families may be charged for the repair or replacement of the device at cost. This measure helps us ensure the longevity of our technology program and that all students have reliable access to their learning materials.

We appreciate your partnership in teaching your student the importance of responsibility and care for shared resources. If you have any questions about the technology policy, please do not hesitate to contact our school office.
