Mission

At Durant Road Elementary School, our BYOD program aligns with the WCPSS strategic plan. Through the purposeful use of devices students will collaborate as critical thinkers to support a culture of creativity and risk-taking as they build college and career readiness.

 How it Works

• BYOD allows students to turn their personal devices into learning devices while freeing up access to school computers for those students who might not have their own.
• Any device that is portable and can provide Internet access can be used. That would include mostly smartphones, tablets and laptops.
• Teachers plan and implement rigorous and engaging BYOD activities that support the curriculum
• Staff will not touch student devices.
• Students use kid-safe search engines, educational apps, and internet sites via links on our DRES Student Links page and teachers' web pages
• Teachers monitor students' usage of devices closely 

Devices

 Students are not required to bring devices.  If you choose to send a device with your child, here are some options.
