Our school communities have always had the ability to provide feedback on School District No. 6 (Rocky Mountain) policies under review through their principals, PACs, or a direct email to the School District Office.  Our school communities told the District in the 2023-24 to 2026-27 Strategic Plan Engagement Survey that they want to be more engaged and have direct communication into the policy development process. 

To achieve this, the District has committed to creating this webpage, complete with a survey for each policy under consideration.  The District will communicate via the website, school apps, and Facebook which policies are under consideration and link to this page for further information.

The District values the opinions of our school communities.

 

Policy 5800: District Code of Conduct for Students

On Friday, January 26, 2024, the Premier of British Columbia announced the province would be taking "actions to keep kids and young people safe from online threats, restrict cellphones in school and hold social media companies accountable".

The announcement includes three concrete actions to keep kids and young adults safe:

  • restricting the use of cellphones in schools;
  • launching services to remove images from the internet and pursue predators; and
  • legislation to hold social media companies accountable for the harm they have caused.

The expectation is that schools will have policies in place by the start of the next school year to be able to restrict students' cell phone use in the classroom.

To meet this requirement, the Rocky Mountain School District is proposing a change to Policy and District Practice 5800, District Student Code of Conduct.  The change would include a section on the use of electronic devices and communication.  

First reading feedback is being collected until April 26, 2024.  

Review the proposed changes.

Provide feedback

Feedback will continue to be received after second reading too.  It is anticipated that the proposed changes will be given second reading at the next Board of Education meeting on May 14, 2024.
