Technology Care and Use Guidelines

General Use of Technology Devices 1. Devices with recording capabilities (iPads, Macbooks, Phones, etc.) are never to be taken into a locker room or school bathroom as per state law. 2. Devices will be fully charged for the beginning of each school day (either at school or home) 3. Devices must be handled with care, protected from heat and cold, and the weather. 4. Devices are to be used as an educational tool. 5. Passwords are to remain private from other students. You will be required to provide your password to

General Use of Technology Devices 6. You need to report any problems with your device as soon as possible upon return to school. 7. The school’s Acceptable Use Policy is in effect at ALL times regardless of location (home or school). 8. Food and drink will be kept away from school technology devices. 9. Cost of intentional abuse repair will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian. 10. Devices will always be kept in a safe and secure location. (For example, do not leave devices in unlocked 
 cars, on tables in the lunchroom, on top of lockers, out on the front porch, etc.)

Screen Care and Protection Screens are often the most fragile and expensive part of technology devices. To protect them: a. If placed in a book bag, it should be in a way that avoids placing pressure or weight on the screen. b. Do not lean on the top of the device or its screen. c. Keep protective covers on the device and closed when not in use. d. Clean screens with a soft cloth only, do not use cleaners of any type. e. Carry devices only in their closed cases (zip, velcro, etc.)

Saving Work & Backup Students are responsible for storing data and backing up safely onto network resources. Devices may fail or need to be reset at anytime. All data on the device that was not properly stored or backed up will be lost. Google Drive: Use docs and put everything there!

The school unit reserves the right to monitor all computer and Internet activity by students. Students have no expectation of privacy in their use of school computers.

Acceptable Use Policy

These rules implement Committee policy IJNDB – Student Computer and Internet Use.

Failure to comply with Committee policy IJNDB and these rules may result in loss of computer and Internet access privileges, disciplinary action and/or legal action.
