BYOD

Dear Parents and Students, 

Beginning on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, which is the first day of the 2^nd semester, staff members will be able to utilize the wireless network for curricular purposes such as research, the use of an educational application, and/or viewing an educational video. In teaching such a lesson, the instructor may make the option available for students to bring their own wireless device or laptop. These will be permitted for use in class only under the supervision of the instructor, and only for the purpose of the lesson. Students will be required to access the wireless network through the school internet and filtering system. No cellular access will be permitted.  

Instructors will not teach a lesson that requires a student’s own device for completion, and will make accommodations for students who either do not have, or do not wish to use, their own device (i.e. partner or group use/work, using a school-owned device, utilizing one of the school computer labs). It should be noted that the Lexington School District will not service, provide support for, or assume liability for any student-owned device. The use of a student-owned device will be optional.  

In an attempt to stay current with changing educational trends, and to allow students to learn from, and with, the devices they use every day, Lexington High School is implementing this wireless policy. It is our hope that this will further enhance the good instruction and learning that is already taking place on a daily basis. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact me personally either by phone at 419-884-1111 ext. 1400, or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for allowing us to educate your student and best wishes in the New Year. 

Sincerely,

Jeremy Secrist

Absences

Planned Absences: Parents are reminded that any planned absence is to be pre-arranged, in the office, with at least two days advance notice with a note. This would include college visits, medical appointments, out of town trips and funerals.

Notes for student absences that are not received within five days of the absence will result in the absence being permanently recorded as an unexcused absence.
