Embedded Files
- Bring it to school every day. Chromebooks are intended for use at school each day. Teachers will plan their lessons assuming that all students will bring their Chromebooks with them with plenty of charge. In addition to teacher expectations for Chromebook use, school messages, announcements, calendars, and schedules may be accessed using Chromebooks. You are expected to be responsible to bring your Chromebook to all classes, unless specifically instructed to do otherwise by your teacher or principal.
- Charge your Chromebook every night. Be sure to have a full charge as you enter school each day. Make charging your Chromebook part of your nightly routine before going to bed on school nights.
- Makeup Work. If you leave your Chromebook at school, or come to class without a charge, you are still responsible for all your course work. If you leave your Chromebook at home for multiple consecutive days, your teacher or principal may request that you bring the device in to verify possession and condition of your Chromebook.
- Keep only school-appropriate media on your computer. Inappropriate media should not be on the Chromebook and may not be used as a screensaver or background image.
- Obey copyright. Individually purchased, legal, school-appropriate media is allowed on your Chromebook, however, you may be asked to remove any media files at any time. Illegal downloading and distribution of copyrighted works are serious offences and carry with them the risk of substantial fines and criminal prosecution. Copyright infringement violates the division’s Internet Acceptable Use Policy and leads to disciplinary action.
- Keep browsing safe through the school filter. The division’s IT department and technology support staff work responsibly to ensure that potentially inappropriate sites are blocked by the division’s Internet filter, in accordance with all applicable laws. Students are expected to abide by the Internet Acceptable Use Policy, and are in violation if they access sites through proxies or otherwise circumvent the school filter. At home it is parents’ and guardians’ responsibility to monitor students’ Internet access. For more information on Internet safety, apps, and ratings, please check the guides at commonsensemedia.org.
- Turn down the volume and pull out the headphones. Speakers are to be muted at all times, unless you are granted permission by your teacher for instructional purposes. You may also use headphones at teacher discretion.
- Leave the division-loaded apps on your Chromebook. Do not delete any division-loaded apps, folder, files, or file management software. Deletion of certain files or apps will interfere with your ability to complete coursework.
- Don't place tape or post it note to cover up the camera.
- Avoid eating and drinking while using your Chromebook. Eating and drinking while using your Chromebook puts your Chromebook at risk to crumbs and spills that can do permanent damage to the function and life of your device. This is considered neglect.
- Never leave your Chromebook unsecured. Your Chromebook should never be in an unlocked locker, car or any unsupervised area. This is considered neglect.
- Never leave your Chromebook exposed to extreme elements. Chromebooks are sensitive to heat and liquids, therefore leaving them in cars, direct sunlight, outdoors, or anywhere they could get hot, cold, damp or wet should be avoided. This is considered neglect.
- Notify IT support, teachers, or administration if your Chromebook has a problem. Whether your Chromebook is not functioning properly, has suffered some damage, or is missing, it is your responsibility to let a school official know as soon as possible. Never try to repair your Chromebook yourself. Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
