Content filtering:
• Enfield Public Schools provides content filtering in compliance with existing district and state
policies, both on the school network and on external networks.
• EPS Acceptable Use Policies define content considered inappropriate in a school setting.
These guidelines are also to be observed when the device is used outside the school setting.
• This filtering does not absolve the user from attempting to access unauthorized or
inappropriate sites on the internet.
• No content filter is capable of preventing access to all online content that is not school related.
Content filters provide a degree of protection to the user and the device. The user assumes
responsibility for not accessing content that is either inappropriate or non-school related whether
blocked by a filter or not.
• Attempts to bypass or disable the content filtering on a device will result in disciplinary
consequences or restriction of a student’s technology privileges, as outlined in the Student
Acceptable Use Policy
iPads Left at Home/Undergoing Repair
In special circumstances, Enfield High School offers loaner iPads to students. These loaner iPads are
located in the Enfield High School Technology Center, dependent upon availability and approval by
school staff. If students leave their iPad at home, they are responsible for getting the course work
completed, as if they had their iPad present. If a student repeatedly leaves their iPad at home, they may
be subject to academic and/or behavioral consequences, as specified by school administration and
faculty.
Charging Your iPad Battery
iPads must be brought to school each day, fully-charged. Repeat violations will be handled in a manner
developed by school personnel, according to the school and classroom policies. iPads should be
charged in the evening, as automatic iOS updates will occur overnight while device is plugged in.
EPS Installed Apps/Software
The software/apps originally installed by EPS must remain on the iPad in usable condition and be
easily accessible at all times. From time to time, the school may add software applications for use in
a particular course. School-specific licenses for apps may require that the software be deleted from
iPads at the completion of the course or when transferring from one school to another. EPS uses a
Mobile Device Management Tool, Mosyle. Our Technology Department remotely manages all Apple
devices.
Storage limits on the devices may limit extra software/apps on student iPads. Storage will be allocated
to educationally appropriate apps or software, which may result in personal app deletion. EPS will not
provide additional iCloud storage. EPS will manage the iPads so that they contain the necessary apps
for schoolwork.
Procedure for re-loading software
If technical difficulties occur, due to apps or software, which causes device instability, the iPad will be
restored. Students are responsible for checking to ensure that iCloud back-up is scheduled and
successful. The school does not accept responsibility for the loss of any software or documents
deleted due to reformatting and reimaging.
Software upgrades
Upgrade versions of licensed software/apps are available from time to time and can be installed by the
student user. EPS Technology department and/or school personnel may take possession of student
iPads for periodic updates and/or syncing. Automatic iOS updates will occur overnight while device is
