Digital Citizenship

Personal Electronic Devices

Students will be allowed to bring in their own personal electronic devices to enhance their learning only at the expressed direction and permission of their teacher. 

When using personal electronic devices at school, students are expected to abide by the CBE Electronics Responsible Use Policy or risk losing the privilege of using these devices at school. Parents and visitors must accept and sign our Electronics Responsible Use Policy annual to access the school wireless network. 

The school is not responsible for any loss or damage to students’ personal electronic devices.

The Alex Ferguson Admirable Use Policy - Away for a Day can be found on the right hand side of this page under resources. All families sign this form as part of their welcome package when they join Alex Ferguson each school year.

​​​Digital Citizenship at the CBE

Digital citizenship is about using technology and participating in digital environments. It is key to helping our students learn to use available technology responsibly in the classroom and beyond. Our school has a Digital Citizenship Plan that is updated annually, addressing how we work to build a community where we live and work together as digital citizens.

Visit the CBE website to learn more about how we support students to develop online safety skills and be good digital citizens.​​​

CBE students came away with a number of wins and demonstrated exceptional talent and skills as they competed in Skills Canada Alberta in Edmonton and the 2023 Skills Canada National Competition (SCNC) in Winnipeg. https://t.co/7Rigvcqpv6 #WeAreCBE https://t.co/GkTJe0yV9C
