School Culture and Expectations

Forest Grove points families to the Burnaby School District Code of Conduct, including updated expectations for student cell phones and digital devices. The district guidance emphasizes uninterrupted learning and responsible, safe technology use: devices should be stored away, silent, and out of sight during instructional time (with teacher permission for learning activities), and elementary students are also restricted from using devices during recess and lunch.
