Blue Ridge High School is a part of the Personalized Learning initiative meaning that each student is issued a Chromebook and a charger at the beginning of the school year. The following is important information for students to read and understand before using their devices
Student Expectations
• Students may save files to the device but students should be aware that if a device is stolen, lost or damaged, files may be lost. Most devices will connect to the student’s Google Drive and GCS encourages students to back up all work to the student Google Drive.
• Students should not download any applications or extensions unless approved by the teacher.
• Students should not attempt to connect personal accounts (such as iTunes or personal Gmail) to the device.
• Students will turn in their device if leaving BRHS. Students will be issued another device IF they enroll in another Greenville County School, if available. If a student transfers out of district, devices must be turned in or they will be reported stolen.
• Devices will be monitored by teachers and administrators for inappropriate content.
• Students are not to download or access inappropriate material at home or at school.
• Students are never to give their login information to other students.
• Students are to remember that if they give their device to others to use, the student is responsible for any content viewed on the device, any material downloaded, and any damage that may occur while it is out of their possession.
Digital Citizenship
Living and working in the 21st Century requires online responsibility that did not exist for previous generations. The online world contains a wealth of information accessible immediately.
Having access to such a wealth of information requires responsibility to use that information as it was intended. Greenville County Schools teaches internet safety and digital citizenship as part of the curriculum for students. Students must learn how to be good citizens in the online world, just like they must learn to be good citizens in the real world.
Parents are encouraged to sign digital contracts with their students and to define expectations for how they want their children to behave online. Although the device your child has is filtered, the potential for inappropriate content always exists.
