SD60 along with possible partners are working towards expanding internet connectivity not only to Clearview School but the surrounding areas. Internet has become a critical infrastructure for schools, companies, and many residents.
Below is a map with some possible partners and significant locations in the Clearview/Flat Rock/Goodlow area. If you are interested in joining the discussion please email jbell@prn.bc.ca

A couple of highlights from Board Policy 0202 – Acceptable Internet Use which governs all staff and students in their use of online resources along with the Acceptable Use Agreement which all students/parents are to sign at the beginning of the year if they wish to use any technology in the district.
Please take the time and read 0202 so that you are aware of it.
Come join Jarrod Bell (Principal of Technology) and Norbert Kaspar (Vice Principal NBCDES) as they present their second Parent Internet Session of the year.
Demystifying the Internet
(March 10 – 7:00 – 8:30 – SB0 – School District Office back door, in the District Development Centre)
Facebook? Twitter? Youtube? Moodle? What’s all this stuff? This session will look at websites that your kids may be using and you’d like to know more about. We’ll talk about some safety considerations and have plenty of time for questions and discussion.
RSVP by email to jbell@prn.bc.ca or by phone to Sharon Irving at 250-262-6013
Had an enjoyable evening with several parents last night about internet and safety. I’ve included the presentation above, but it was mostly great conversations.
