Digital Citizenship, Tech Help, and Device delivery update

"I hope your first day of school is wonderful!"

Digital Citizenship

Good Citizenship Pledge
Bugg K - 2 Student iPad Orientation
Bugg 3-5 Student Chromebook Orientation

Today, we have delivered the student 'Good Citizen Pledge'. As with your other procedures, please read and discuss the information with your students. In addition, please make sure this document is included in today's Monday folders to be signed and returned. Each student should return the form prior to the use of any technology in our school. Please check off that each form has been returned and keep the forms in your classrooms.

Tech Help

Bugg Tech Help Request 19-20

If you have any tech help requests, please complete a Tech Help Request form. New for 2019-2020, I have created a Tech Help website https://sites.google.com/wcpss.net/techhelpbugg/home. The answers to many common questions (e.g. how to add a printer, email, student login, etc.) can be found on this website. I will continually add information throughout the year. The Tech Help Request form can be found on this page. It is also located in 'Quick Links' on the Bugg homepage as well as at the bottom of any email you receive from me.

    • As discussed, please attach a library pocket to the front of each Chromebook. Write students' first names only on the library pocket. Students may decorate the pocket.
    • I will print the student login and username information on an index card. The index card will be inserted into the library pocket. Note: 3rd - 5th grade students will change their password upon the first login. Ask student to write their new password on the back of the index card - in pencil.

    • Please update all iPads prior to student use.
    • Pair each student's iPad with the teacher's using Apple Classroom. (I will discuss this further with K - 2 teachers.)

    • I will also print login and username information on an index card for each K - 2 student.
