BYOD Pilot Program (Bring Your Own Device)
Garrett Middle School has applied to become a BYOD Pilot school for the 2013-2014
school year. BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device. Students, with parental approval, may bring internet accessible
technology to school to use for instructional purposes in specified BYOD classrooms only.
You may view an informational slideshow below. This was the presentation shared with
parents during Open House on September 17, 2013.
BYOD permission forms will be sent home with students who are in the following BYOD pilot classrooms:
- E. Howard
- L. Boggess
- L. Burr
- P. Mitchell
- S. Blackwell
- K. Couch
- M. Denney
- M. Dickson
- M. Hobbs
- A. Walker

Once the BYOD form is returned, students will be given a BYOD sticker that should be placed on their agenda.
Device use will begin on a date to be determined for those students who have returned their permission forms. Students will
only be allowed to use their devices if they have their sticker displayed and at the sole discretion of the BYOD teacher.
A rollout date for the BYOD Pilot Program will announced at a future date. Please check back here for upcoming
information.
