complete a new Loss/Damage Waiver for their student’s replaced/repaired iPad or charger. If you have additional questions, call your Principal. *Loss/Damage Waiver Fees may be adjusted based on Free/Reduced Lunch qualifications. Special Circumstances/Restricted Access - Parent/Guardian – Initiated Accommodations If, at any point, circumstances call for a student to have limited or restricted access to district-provided resources, a written request by the student’s parent/guardian must be placed on file with the particular school from which the parent/guardian is requesting the special accommodation. If the request is initiated by the parent/guardian, then approved by a school administrator, and placed on file with the school’s technology department, a student may be granted, “as needed only” or “by teacher request 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 ([email protected]) and Apple ID’s, will be used for only internal communications and are not accessible outside the Enfield Public Schools district’s network. 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, 5
