Students learn collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking in a variety of ways throughout the school day. In an effort to increase access to those 21st Century skills, WHHS will allow personal technology devices on school grounds for students who follow the responsibilities stated in the Acceptable Use Policy and the Guidelines regarding BYOD.

Approved devices must be in silent mode unless otherwise allowed by teacher.
Devices may not be used to cheat on assignments, quizzes, or tests, or for non-instructional purposes (such as making phone calls and text messaging).
Students may not use devices to record, transmit, or post photographic images or video of a person or persons on campus during school hours or during school activities, unless otherwise allowed by a teacher.
No student will be allowed to use their own device without submitting a waiver signed by both themselves and their parent/guardian.
