Cellphones

Cell phones are amazing devices but all kids need support and guidance related to safe and healthy use of a personal phone. "Smartphones" provide internet access either through the cell service or a wi fi connection. Many devices like ipods, iphones and ipads can access the internet through a wifi connection even without cellular service. In LPS, we have filters on our wired networks and wifi networks, but students can still access the internet through unfiltered cellular service on their phone.  

See the resources below to help support your student to use their phone wisely.
