Student BYOD
A growing number of students are choosing to bring personal technology – such as Internet-connected mobile devices and smartphones – to use during the school day.
As nearly all of our educational applications and subscriptions are Internet-based, any web browser can securely access them from any network. Students may access their school email and other applications such as Google Apps, Canvas, Edgenuity, and Naviance from their own device.
BYOD limitations and terms
Some points to keep in mind if a student and parent choose to bring personal technology into school:
Use of such devices are subject to guidelines and limitations established by classroom teachers, building administration, and the school handbook.
The District takes no responsibility for any issue or loss arising from the choice to use a personal device.
Per Policy IIBF-E, the District reserves the right to search any and all personal technology devices brought upon the school campus or to any school activity or on any school bus if in the judgment of the supervisor or administrator in charge there is a reasonable suspicion to believe it contains evidence of the violation of a District rule, policy, or state or federal law which could subject the student to discipline.
The District cannot install or offer licensed software on personal computers.
The District cannot and will not offer maintenance, troubleshooting, or repair services on any personal equipment.
All devices using our Internet connection will send their traffic through our content filter. The use of personal VPNs to redirect traffic or bypass filtering is blocked.
Students in grades 9-12 cannot access their network private folders on their personal device.
Two District policies – Policy IIBF and Policy IIBF-E – discuss in further detail how BYOD works.
