 Savona Elementary School's Personal Digital Device Use Guidelines and Expectations

All phones when brought to school by a student are to remain in their lockers during the school day. If a student needs to use their phone to contact someone, they may ask a staff member, and if given approval, they may use it at their locker. It will be returned to their locker when done. Students completing school tasks requiring technology will use technology devices provided by the school.  

PDDS other than phones, such as smart watches, will not be allowed to be used for communication or social media usage. Usage will be monitored by staff.

Office phone use will be encouraged, as it is available for use upon request from the school steno.
