Mobile Information Devices Acceptable Use Plan

Our Vision • The Greece Central School District recognizes that as we

prepare our students for 21st century college and careers, our students must be aware of what technology is available to them in this information based global society that we live in.

• Furthermore we must seize the opportunity to leverage the power of these Mobile Information Devices (MID’s) to improve student learning and engagement.

• Finally, as we continue to foster good citizenship, we should be preparing our students to be ready to use these devices in an acceptable and respectful manor that supports a successful learning environment.
