Louise Dean School Digital Citizenship Plan

This plan is one component of the CBE Digital Citizenship Process. Schools must complete this plan:

• to be compliant with Administrative Regulation 1062 Responsible Use of Electronic Information Resources
• to allow students to connect to the school’s wireless network with their own devices.

The plan is meant to guide the school’s work in these areas. It will be a component of the Staff Handbook that will be reviewed annually.
