Technology Use Policy

The use of electronic devices is now a part of daily life for most students. These devices can help student learning and engage students in the classroom. Goulds Elementary uses electronic devices such as computers, interactive whiteboards, tablets and other mobile devices in the classroom to enhance academic achievement and help motivate students.

Through the use of the school's network, access to learning resources and applications (apps) help all students meet learning objectives. To help protect all students, proper use guidelines and practices for these devices must be established, followed and monitored.

All parents/guardians must sign an Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement prior to students being permitted to use/access technology and online resources at school. The purpose of the agreement is to:

❏ Ensure students and parents/guardians are aware of the conditions under which students are permitted to use technology;

❏ Outline expectations and responsibilities of students and appropriate and inappropriate use of technology.

We ask parents and guardians to monitor use and to discuss these regulations and the proper use of technology with their children and we thank you for your support.

You can view the Acceptable use of Technology Agreement HERE before signing the Technology Agreement Form provided by the school.
