Textbooks & Chromebooks

it is used during the student’s lunch period
it is needed in an emergency that threatens the safety of students staff, or other individuals
Cell phones are allowed on field trips, but if a student is found on an inappropriate site, the student’s phone will be confiscated and the student will be given a consequence according to cell phone violations or at the discretion of the administration.
Computer Security Policy / Computer Use Guidelines
Staff and students' use of computers is a privilege not a right. The computers are tools for all students and must be handled accordingly. The computer is not personal property and any changes to the computer must be approved by the teacher/supervisor. Any problems with a computer must be brought to the attention of the teacher/supervisor at once.
No student may download or install or delete or change programs of files that are not owned by the student. Students are not allowed to make changes to hardware configurations or software configurations.
Attempts of any kind to change, alter or make different any software or hardware components or the output thereof without permission will cause the loss of the student’s computer use and privileges. If said change, alteration or differences causes damages, the student may also be liable for costs. This may cause civil lawsuits to be brought against the student by the software author or manufacturer or the hardware component.
