Chromebooks
At the beginning of the year, new students will receive a Chromebook for their use. Some reminders concerning procedures and rules for this technology:
Procedures:
Computers are the property of the Stevens Point School District, not the student. Parents/guardians of students are allowed to inspect their child’s computer. Students are reminded that technology is regulated and a privilege; their computers may be searched by the school at any time.
The goal of this tool is to infuse technology into the curriculum for the enhancement of student learning.
Computer problems?
Restart your computer.
If the computer issue is not resolved, ask at least three other students (“ask three before me”).
If still not resolved, ask a teacher or someone in the Technology Help Center. (**Note: The Technology Help Center is located in the LMC. They provide technical assistance to students).
Computers should be taken home each night to be charged. Students should leave the computer charging cord at home. The only thing that should be placed in the case/sleeve is the computer (i.e. no papers, pencils, …)
Transporting rules: Use two hands to move the computer and close the lid. Transport the computer in the bag/case between classes with the power turned off. Chromebooks always remain in the case.
Rules:
Computer use is limited to the assigned student and/or their parent/guardian. The student is responsible for the proper use of their assigned computer (AUP). Do not touch other student computers.
Students will comply with all district (AUP) and school rules regarding computer use. Before using a computer, students must ask permission from the supervising teacher or school employee.
Chromebooks will be secured at all times. (*When storing your computer in your locker, make sure your locker is locked).
DO NOT attempt to alter, avoid, or go around programmed district filters. This includes using proxies.
DO NOT download programs to your computer without permission from the 1:1 computer technician.
Students will comply with staff requests regarding computer use. Staff control the use of technology in the building/classrooms.
Please refer to the “Academic Honesty” section of your student planner. The rule applies to all school computers and includes information regarding students sharing files without teacher permission.
Remember all passwords and do not share them with anyone.
Computers are not allowed in the cafeteria during lunch; they must be stored in their case/sleeve and locked in your locker.
DO NOT alter the computer, asset tag number, or student ID in any way.
DO NOT attach stickers, write on, or engrave on the devices.
