only” access to a device, rather than have it issued permanently to the student. Administrators will
take into account the parent concerns and potential educational impact. While the district encourages
the use of technology, there may be unique circumstances when this is approved.
Administrator – Initiated Accommodations
Noncompliance with the expectations of the Technology Student/Parent Handbook or violations of
school policies can result in the loss of privilege with, or restricted access to, district-provided
technology as a consequence for misuse or as a safety measure for a particular student. The use of
Enfield Public Schools technology is a privilege rather than a right and can, therefore, be taken away
from a student who has displayed a pattern of behavior that is considered by an administrator to be
potentially unsafe, inappropriate, or disruptive for the user, other students, staff, the technology itself,
or the learning environment.
General Precautions:
• iPads must remain in the EPS provided case at all times.
• iPads must never be left in an unlocked locker, unlocked car or any unsupervised area.
• Students are responsible for keeping their iPad’s battery charged for school each day.
• Cords and cables must be inserted carefully into the iPad to prevent damage.
• iPads must remain free of any writing, drawing, stickers, or labels that are not the property of the
Enfield Public Schools District.
• Never loan your iPad to anyone, as you are responsible for your assigned device.
Receiving Your iPad
• Parents and students must sign and return the Student/Parent Technology Handbook and the
Acceptable Use Agreement documents before the iPad can be issued to their child.
• EPS issued email accounts (@enfieldschools.org) must be used for all email communication
on the EPS electronic device. This is in compliance with current EPS policies.
• One user with specific privileges and capabilities will be set up on the iPad. The student
agrees to make no attempts to change or allow others to change the privileges and capabilities
of this user account.
Handling, Care, and use of your device:
• Students are responsible for the general care of the district-issued iPad and should notify
school personnel of any problems.
• Do not allow others access to an electronic device assigned to you.
• Start each day with a fully charged battery.
• Carefully insert and/or remove headphones and charging cables.
• Protective cases provided with iPads protect the iPad from normal treatment.
• iPads must be kept in the protective case provided by Enfield Public Schools at all times.
• Make sure that your device is not exposed to liquids, extreme heat or cold temperatures,
which could cause the device to malfunction.
• Make sure that the surface of the case or device is not altered or defaced. Decorations or
stickers, except those required for EPS inventory or affixed by school personnel are
prohibited.
• Only EPS district personnel are permitted to troubleshoot, diagnose, or arrange for repair of the
device.
• iPad screens can be damaged if subjected to rough treatment. The screens are particularly
sensitive to damage from excessive pressure on the screen.
• Do not lean on the top of the iPad.
• Do not place anything on top of the iPad or in the carrying case that could put pressure on the
screen.
