1. Bring Your Own
Technology
BYOT
Grades 8-12

2. Device Use
 A device is defined as a small to medium sized
portable computer, tablet, smart phone, iPod, etc.
designed for mobile or portable computing.
 At all times, students’ use of personal technology is
at the discretion of their classroom teacher or
supervisor.
 Devices should be muted at all times to minimize
disruption to the learning environment.
 During school peak hours (7:30AM – 3:30PM),
students should avoid streaming or downloading
of video or web content (over 250MB) unless
required by a teacher’s lesson. This will be
monitored.

3. Device Use
 Audio and/or video recording, as well as
image capturing, is expressly forbidden unless
approved by the classroom teacher. Any
capture of audio, video, or image that
violates an individual’s privacy is considered a
violation of this agreement.
 A firewall with appropriate content filtration is
in place to prevent access to certain social
networking and “time-wasting” web content.
 Students are expected to adhere to the
existing policy on tardiness and have devices
put away per their next classroom teacher’s
instructions.

4. Device Security, Power, and
Network Issues
 The student bears sole responsibility for the device while on
campus or in transit to/from campus, including the loss of or
damage to devices .
 School staff cannot be requested to assist with problems
concerning personal devices.
 When not being used, devices must be stored in a secure
location. Parents are responsible for ensuring that their
household insurance policy offers adequate protection for
the loss of or damage to the device since such claims
cannot be made against school insurance, nor can the
school be held liable for such claims.
 In the case of accidental damage caused by one student
to the device of another student, the matter will not be
investigated or mediated by the school and the families
concerned will be asked to discuss the matter directly.

5. Device Security, Power, and
Network Issues
 Students will not attempt to connect to any school
printers via their device.
 Each student is responsible for ensuring their
device is adequately charged before coming to
school each day.
 The student will not use the school’s resources to
charge his/her computer’s battery except during
study hall/homeroom time or in a computer lab.
 Students may connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi on
the school’s guest network, STMAURXT. This
network is for Internet access only, and WILL NOT
allow devices to access networked school printers
or data from the school’s network storage.

6. Conditions of Enrollment
in the BYOT
 Any student may be removed from personal device use at any
time should he/she be considered to be in breach of the
agreement or Parent/Student Handbook.
 Additional consequences up to and including expulsion may also
be issued for violation of the contract in ways which negatively
impact on the learning environment of others and/or which
threaten to compromise the security of the school’s IT infrastructure.
 The Saint Maur Technology Department continuously monitors the
school’s network traffic. Any device that is considered to be
downloading an unreasonable amount of content, therefore using
excessive amounts of network bandwidth, will be banned from the
STMAURXT network for 24 hours. Repeat offenses may result in a
permanent block of the device’s MAC address.
 NO HACKING! In the case that a student violates the contract by
logging onto the protected school network, the family will be
required to refund to the school costs of reasonable parts/labor
concerned with the investigation into and repair of any
compromise to the security of the school’s IT infrastructure. It is
therefore absolutely essential that students do not attempt to
connect to the protected school network under any circumstances.

7. Sign and Return BYOT
 Complete, sign, and return the BYOT
Agreement to your homeroom teachers
prior to accessing the network.
