Technology

Each student is issued a Chromebook for instructional use. Teachers and students will also have access to iPads. Teachers will look for frequent opportunities to embed and integrate technology into the curriculum. Students AND parents must agree to the device contract in class in order to have full access to technology. Students will be required to adhere to all county and school technology guidelines. Failure to adhere to those guidelines could result in a students’ access to technology being revoked.

While each classroom has Internet access, parents must sign the ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY giving permission for students to log onto the Internet. Teachers may use selected Internet sites for instructional purposes with the entire class. Students who do have parental permission are monitored closely while they work on the Internet. Students are not allowed to access the Internet without teacher supervision.

School employees may immediately confiscate any electronic device that is on, used, displayed, or visible in violation of this policy. Absent compelling and unusual circumstances, confiscated electronic devices will be returned only to the student's parent or guardian. Smart watches and similar devices should be used primarily for their intended functions. However, the use of these devices for other purposes that lead to classroom distractions are subject to school-based consequences and possible confiscation.
