Digital Citizenship frames the rationale and conditions for the appropriate use of personal devices by all people.  At Abbeydale School, students will NOT be allowed to access the LAWN network with their personal devices unless there is an educational reason and teacher invitation for including these devices into the learning environment.  If you feel there is an educational reason for your child to be using their device during instructional time (school day), please contact your child's teacher.
