Our Computer Guidelines

Make sure you have read and understand this section.

Information for WSD Ascend Classrooms

The individual use of mobile devices is a way to empower students to maximize their full potential and to prepare them for college and the workplace. The result is increased learning from the continuous dynamic interaction among students, educators, parents, and the extended community. Technology immersion does not diminish the role of the teacher. On the contrary, it transforms the teacher from a director of learning to a facilitator of learning, which may continue beyond the school day.

Students may not access district networks on personal mobile devices.

The following guidelines apply to all mobile computing devices used at Lomond View Elementary.

Taking Care of Your Device

Each computing device is intended for use at school every day. Students are responsible to bring their device to all classes unless specifically instructed not to do so by a teacher.

General Precautions

We will charge the device’s battery every night to ensure a full charge for school.

Insert cords and cables carefully to prevent damage.

Never leave the device unsupervised.

Report devices that are broken or fail to work properly to the teacher for evaluation.

Computing devices should only be used in a place where the temperature is between 32⁰ and 95⁰F. Low or high temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to stop working properly.

Your device may not leave the school grounds.

Carrying the Devices

Carry your device carefully being careful not to drop or bump it against walls or other surfaces.

Avoid placing the device where it will have pressure and weight on it.

Screen Care

The screens on any device can be damaged if subject to rough treatment. They are particularly sensitive to pressure on the screen.

Do not lean on the top of the device.

Use only a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the screen under your teacher's direction. Never use cleansers of any kind. Do not use paper towels.

Do not place anything on or near the device that could put pressure on the screen.

Do not close the screen of your device with objects still on the keyboard.

Do not bump the device against hard areas such as walls, car doors, floors, or other hard areas as it will eventually break the screen.

Screensavers and Background Photos

You may personalize your device through copyright–free background photos or screensavers.

Do not use images of weapons, pornographic materials, inappropriate language, alcohol, drugs, or gang-related symbols as a background photo or screensaver.

Do not password-protect your screensaver or background.

Home Internet Access

Students may not take school-issued devices home.

Saving Files

Students may save work online in a Google Drive account space . It is the student’s responsibility to ensure work is not lost due to failure or accidental deletion. A hardware malfunction is not an acceptable excuse for late or un-submitted work.

Software

The software or applications required by the school must remain on the device in usable condition and be easily accessible at all times. Occasionally the school may require the addition of software or applications for use in the classroom.

Synchronizing

School devices will be automatically synced with apps, extensions, and add-ons approved by the district.
