Student Gaming: We have seen an uptick in students playing a shooting simulator game. The game is called 1V1.lol and has to be downloaded to your student’s device. Per the BPS Technology Responsible Use policy, students are not to download games to their school issued device. We have also noticed this game is causing damage to student devices as a result of hitting the same key repeatedly. The repair for this damage will be charged to the family. We appreciate you checking on your student’s device and making sure they are complying with school rules. Please let us know if you have any questions. | ||||||||||||||||||
