Heritage Elementary School Chromebook Responsible Use Procedures 2024-25
Greenville County School District encourages students to use a variety of technologies to enhance their learning. To ensure the privacy and safety of our students, and to protect data and our resources, we ask parents and students to become familiar with policy and regulations that have been established for technology use in the district.
The district’s Acceptable Use Policy (Board Policy and Administrative Rule EFE)
is available on the district web site, http://www.greenville.k12.sc.us, in the Board of Trustees section.
If a student violates any part of the GCS Student Acceptable Use Policy, he/she will be subject to the following discipline at Heritage Elementary:
Violation 1 – Student will lose Chromebook privileges for the remainder of the day and the following school day.
Violation 2 – Student will lose Chromebook privileges for 3 days.
Violation 3 – Student will lose Chromebook privileges for 30 days / 1 month.
Violation 4 – Student will have their Chromebook privileges revoked for the remainder of the school year.
Special Circumstance Violation:
Any student who violates Privacy Laws will lose Chromebook privileges until the Technology Committee is able to meet and determine the severity of the incident and the appropriate consequence. Privacy laws include, but are not limited to, sharing passwords, using others' credentials, or sharing photos, videos, or other personal information.
When a student loses Chromebook privileges, the Chromebook will be returned to the Media Center for the predetermined amount of time. Alternative assignments may be given.
I understand that:
The Chromebook is an instructional tool/resource and will be used to support teaching and learning.
I will use extreme care and caution in the protection of my designated equipment.
In the event of damage, loss, or theft of any of the equipment, I am responsible for notifying my teacher immediately.
I will return the Chromebook and charger to Heritage Elementary on or before the last day of the school term, my last day of enrollment, or immediately upon request at any time, and I shall return the Chromebook and charger in the same condition as they were issued by the school.
The equipment is the property of the Greenville County School District and I will not remove or alter any district or school labels, markings, or barcodes. I will also not add any stickers or labels to my Chromebook or charger.
I will not install, use, operate or maintain the Chromebook improperly, carelessly, in violation of any applicable law, GCSD policy, or in any manner contrary to that contemplated by this Agreement. I will not install any programs or change District-required settings on the Chromebook
The use of a Chromebook is a privilege, not a right, for educational purposes. The school may revoke my use of the Chromebook at any time it deems appropriate. Violation of this Agreement or District policies/procedures may also result in disciplinary action.
Use of my Chromebooks are governed by and subject to the rules, policies, and conditions contained in the Greenville County School District’s technology acceptable use policy, and other applicable school and district policies, rules, and guidelines.
If my Chromebook or charger is lost I am responsible for the replacement cost.
If my Chromebook or charger is intentionally damaged it is my responsibility to pay for repairs.
I have read the Heritage Elementary School Chromebook Responsible Use Procedures 2024-25 above and reviewed them with my student. My student agrees to follow the procedures as stated above and we both understand that there may be consequences if the student fails to follow the procedures as stated.
