Parent & Students

Surveys

Surveys are a means to systematically engage all our stakeholders in two-way communication. They provide school leaders and teachers a lens into the thinking and perceptions of our stakeholders. Careful analysis of the results helps us to understand our areas of strength and effectiveness, as well as those areas that might need improvement. These survey results will enable our school leaders to measure stakeholders' attitudes and help target improvement strategies focused on student achievement, as well as school and district effectiveness. Taking the survey will also provide a means for stakeholders to learn about what parents and students should be looking for in a high-quality school system.  Your cooperation and support in completing the surveys will be greatly appreciated.

​1 TO 1 Student Technology Initiative

Volusia County School District’s vision is to ensure that all students receive a superior 21st century education. The district’s first major step in that process is to provide all students with a personal electronic device. Technology within education should have one basic goal: to enhance and positively support the learning environment. Increasing access to technology is essential for our students' future. Please read our Technology Resources for more information about the 1 to 1 technology program.

Electronic Devices Policy

♦ Cell phones/Wireless Devices: Pursuant to House Bill 309, a student may not use a wireless communications device during instructional time, except when expressly directed by a teacher solely for educational purposes.  A teacher shall designate an area for wireless communication devices during instructional time. This includes cell phones, smart watches, tablets, and ear buds. Students who violate the law will be disciplined in accordance with the procedures implemented in the school’s code of student conduct. 

DeLand Middle School Cell Phone Policy 

• Students may not have their cell phones visible or in use once they arrive on campus until dismissal.  No use of cell phones in the classrooms, hallways, restrooms or at lunch.
• Students who need to call home can do so from their grade level office phone.  Parents may call in and ask for the grade level office if they need to leave a message for their child or if they need to speak to their child.
• Students must ensure that the telephone capabilities of their devices are turned off during the instructional day (i.e. ringer off, silent mode, cameras, videos etc.)
• Students shall avoid classroom disruptions by not displaying, using, or activating the data access portion of their wireless device during the instructional day unless instructed to do so by the teacher and/or authorized school personnel under the Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiative.  This includes during class, in the Media Center, P.E. and any other instructional/structured activities (unless authorized by the teacher).

• DeLand Middle School administration reserves the right to change this cell phone policy as it sees in order to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment. 

• **Deland Middle School is not responsible for theft or damage to a student’s device.  Students are responsible for bringing their personal technology back and forth to school every day and taking the proper precautions to ensure device safety.**
