E Readers and Battle of the Books

E Readers and Battle of the Books

            Battle of the Books has begun! We know that many students are excited to read and will want to download the books on to their e readers and we want to remind everyone about school policy on e readers.

            Grades 3 - 5 are typically not allowed to have e readers at school. During Battle of the Books we are making an exception to this rule, with some guidelines. First, students must bring the permission slip below with them. The e reader should be labeled with the student's name. In the morning when the student arrives they should turn it in to the teacher, who will keep it behind their desk until reading time. While students are using it the wireless must be kept off. Grades 6 - 8 are allowed to have e readers at school but they also must have permission from their parent, restrict use to designated times, and keep wireless turned off. For all grades, if it becomes a distraction, it will have to be taken home and not brought back. With these rules and procedures in place, students may use their e readers during Battle of the Books!
