    With back to school season fast approaching  the provincial government are reminding families about the use of personal electronic devices in schools. Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell is encouraging parents and families to have thoughtful discussions with their children and teenagers about the use of cell phones in K-12. Families in K-6 schools are reminded that students are not permitted to use their cell phones in classrooms except in circumstances where their use is required to support the documented learning needs of individual students in accordance with the School  Policy.
