Students in grades 6-12, who can, are encouraged to bring a personal device (laptop/tablet/Chromebook) for use during the school day.  Cell phones are not considered appropriate devices for school use. Families are asked to consider their child's age and responsibility level when selecting a device to bring to school.  Chromebooks provide all necessary functions to support students’ learning and are recommended due to their functionality, durability,  and cost. Here are some hardware specifications you will want to keep in mind when selecting your device.  MHS has been implementing a BYOD policy for several years and has compiled this FAQ document.
