General Guidelines:
Treat all school property with respect.
Report any operating system, hardware or laptop case condition problems to the staff immediately.
No gaming is allowed during class time at school.
Devices should not be attached to your computer without teacher permission.
Laptops are considered nex+Gen property at all times and are not to be used to view or transmit content which is not educationally appropriate.
Don’t touch equipment that doesn’t belong to you or you haven’t been given permission to use.
Students will need to develop a routine of charging their laptops each evening. nex+Gen does not have enough electrical outlets to support students charging during the school day.
The following are violations of nex+Gen email and online communications policy:
Sending a group email to more than 8 individuals without staff permission.
Impersonating another user in any way including using their account.
Sending inappropriate or harassing messages (e.g. profanity, maliciousness) through email, Facebook, IM and chat, Echo, etc.
Sending or forwarding impersonal messages (e.g. chain letters).
Internet Guidelines: APS and nex+Gen have configured internet access filters appropriate to the teaching and learning environment.
The following are violations of nex+Gen internet policy:
Accessing inappropriate content (i.e. pornography).
Accessing non-educational sites during class time.
Using chat or IM for non-school related purposes.
Using nex+ɢen internet connection to download files for personal use.
Using nex+ɢen equipment, connections or resources for personal commercial gain without approval of the network administrator
Access to nex+Gen technology can at times include school provided handheld smart scientific calculators, tablets, cameras, video equipment, other sophisticated devices that must be handled appropriately.
Portable game systems are not to be used during class time.
Use of MP3 players are allowed at the discretion of the Facilitator.
“Sexting”, sending sexual material in any form including sexual photos, images or text messages should not be contained in any electronic device including camera or smart phones. Transmission or sharing of such material is not just a serious violation of nex+Gen policy, but may become a criminal violation.
Personal items of value such as iPads, cell phones and expensive headphones are the responsibility of the student. Nex+Gen discourages students from bringing these items to school as they can easily become a distraction. If these items are lost, stolen or damaged, the school is not responsible for search, replacement or reimbursement. At no time are personal devices of ANY kind to be attached to or utilize the school wifi system, nor are personal “hotspots” allowed.
Student Cell Phone Policy: Since the end of the pandemic we have seen an increase in the distracting influence of student electronic devices in our classrooms. To address this growing problem, we have updated our cell phone policies and procedures. Here are our school-wide classroom expectations for cell phones.
Cell phones should be silenced and in backpacks, unless explicitly given facilitator permission to use them.
Personal use of cell phones is only allowed during lunchtime and passing periods.
In case of emergency, you may contact your student by calling the front desk.
Cell phones may be confiscated by teachers. The phone will be locked in a safe in the administrative office and will be returned only to a parent/legal guardian.
