Cell Phone Policy
The following highlights the PSB policy regarding Personally-Owned Mobile Devices (PMDs) in K-6 schools.
Mobile devices are not permitted during school hours and must be turned off or silenced. Students are required to turn off and store their devices out of sight and silenced upon arrival at school. Devices may only be used with an educator’s permission for specific educational activities, medical purposes, or in support of special education needs.
While at school or on a school bus, students must not take or send videos or pictures of students, school staff, or visitors with their devices. A supervising teacher must give permission to a student for any occasion that a student wishes to create an audio or video recording for educational purposes.
Grade 6 Provincial Writing Assessment
In May, Grade 6 students (English and French Immersion) in Prince Edward Island will take part in a provincial assessment of writing skills. The Provincial Elementary Writing Assessment will measure writing skills learned up to the end of Grade 6. The assessment is developed by teachers and department staff based on the curriculum that students learn every day in class. Please see the attached PDF.
