1. Can my student bring their own electronic device in to school?
No. Due to software, network, repair, and liability considerations, students may not use their own electronic device on the school network.
2. What software is on the electronic device?
Software installation varies by grade level.
3. If the Electronic Device is in for repair, are there "loaner Electronic Devices" available?
Yes they are available upon student request.
4. Will the electronic device work on my home network?
As a rule the electronic device should find wireless networks and allow connection. If your wireless network is password protected, you will need that password to connect to your network. Piggybacking or Wardriving (access of wireless networks without the consent of the owner) could be construed as theft of services.
5. What happens if my student forgets his/her electronic device?
There is a system in place to insure that a student has a electronic device to use in the classroom, please refer to the spares and repairs page.
6. Who do I see about a problem or a concern?
Please refer to the "Contact Us" Page.
7. How many electronic device have been lost or stolen?
Approximately a tenth of a percent.
8. Do the electronic device have a webcam built in or an active remote (off network) monitoring system installed?
There is a built-in webcam. Although we can monitor the use of the laptop while it is connected to the SSD network, we do not remotely access the computer when it is off of the network. In order to be CIPA (Child Information Protection Act) compliant, all laptops are filtered through the SSD network, while in school as well as at home.
The electronic device is property of the Springfield School District.
