Last year, all TLDSB families were sent the updated Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) Handbook via SchoolMessenger, which highlighted the updated expectations and consequences related to personal mobile device use. This policy remains in place for the 2026-2027 school year. Overall, our students did a wonderful job following these expectations last year.
At Rolling Hills, this means that personal mobile devices (phones, tablets, and smartwatches) are to be turned off or on silent and put away. Your child’s teachers will be going through what the expectations are specifically in their classroom. If a student needs to be in contact with a parent/guardian, we have a system already in place through the school’s main office.
As a staff, we are committed to creating a school that is safe for all and classrooms that are free of the distraction of personal mobile devices. We know that when devices are turned off or on silent and put away, the instructional day will consist of more meaningful social interaction with peers and staff.
Please remind your child(ren) of the expectation that their personal mobile device(s) must be turned off or set to silent and put away. If these expectations are not followed, progressive discipline steps will be taken.
