Device Safety

Protecting your Digital Device by being Safe

CPS has invested in your future by providing each student with access to digital devices — laptops or Surface Pros while in the classroom, to better prepare students for the technology they will need when they enter post-secondary education and the workplace.

It is important to remember your safety is of the utmost importance.

Student Safety Tips

Remember to always treat your device with care.

• Never leave your device unattended.
• Don’t lend your device to anyone.
• Don’t use your device in places where it may be damaged.
• Don’t eat or drink around your device.
• Do not place heavy items such as books on top of your device.

If you are enrolled in a program that allows you to take a device home — always be safe.

• Keep your device out of sight.
• Don't tell others that you have a device.
• Don't leave your device in the car.
• Don't use your device in public places.
• Pay attention to your surroundings.
• If you're threatened or in danger, give up the device; it can be replaced. 

When connected to the internet, remember to protect your online privacy.

CPS Geo-Fence

Tracking software has been installed and the police are notified when a device that is not registered to leave the school premises passes the geo-fence around the school property.

If you find a CPS digital device, please call the CPS Family Technology Support Center (513) 363-0688.
