Chromebook Agreement Form- PLEASE READ
Having 1-1 devices at the school is an amazing opportunity for our students at Heritage. Please talk to your child about how this opportunity is not a right, but a privilege. Please reiterate the following rules regarding Chromebook usage at Heritage.
Be a Digital Citizen.
At school only use devices for educational purposes
Protect your passwords and personal information.
Be safe and appropriate.
Report inappropriate sites or activity.
If you are not using your Chromebook it is either in the cart or on a table closed.
DO NOT SHARE Chromebooks. You should be the only user on your Chromebook. If your Chromebook is not charged or broken use a class Chromebook.
DO NOT SHARE your password.
Carry your Chromebook closed with two hands.
Be careful plugging and unplugging your Chromebook from the charger. Make sure you are using the charger for your slot.
Do not eat or drink while using your Chromebook.
Only use your DCSD google account at school.
Please sign the Heritage Elementary Device Agreement Form.
The information is also on the agreement form found above including forms you can fill out online. We highly recommend that your child has a case to protect their device.
- We are offering a bulk discount to parents who would like to purchase a GumDrop case for their child's Chromebook. The case guarantees protection for up to six-foot drop. If you would like to purchase one of these cases, just fill out the online order form, send in your check by September 8, 2017. Please remember this is optional, but great protection for your child's device.The cost for a case is $45.99. Not required, but highly encouraged! You are also welcome to purchase a case on your own. Please contact Stephanie Duncan (sduncan@dcsdk12.org) for model information. Please do not buy a case without emailing Mrs. Duncan first so that we can ensure that the case fits your child's Chromebook.
If a child is using a device inappropriately, the following will occur.
- First offense: Verbal Warning
- Second offense: Taken Away for the Day / Handwritten Note from Child Explaining Why They Lost It. Parent must sign note in order to get Chromebook back.
- Third offense: Taken Away Until Further Notice (This has never occurred, and let's keep it that way!)
