Important Update
Computer (ChromeBook) Devices for 3rd - 5th Grade
Hello Anderson Families, Our students have a wonderful opportunity to use Chromebooks as a tool to support teaching, learning, communicating, and collaborating. Students will have the opportunity to utilize this technology at home for specific school assignments. Please take the time to review the expectations listed below with your student. Appropriate Use of Technology at Home The Chromebook is a tool used for learning purposes and should only be used for the purpose(s) determined by the teacher. Students not following the D303 Acceptable Use and Discipline Policies will be subjected to consequences (per the D303 Student Handbook http://district.d303.org/student-handbooks). Students should report any questionable activity/message/picture/etc. to staff immediately. Internet Filters At school, the District Internet filters provide protection and restrict access to certain sites and content. This filter remains in effect when students take Chromebooks home. Unfortunately, our filters DO NOT have the ability to guarantee that all inappropriate content is blocked. It remains the responsibility of the student and his/her parents/guardians to adhere to appropriate use ensuring student safety and security. Parents are expected to monitor and supervise technology usage when at home. Política para llevar los Chromebooks a casa Nuestros estudiantes han tenido una maravillosa oportunidad de utilizar Chromebooks como una herramienta para apoyar la enseñanza, el aprendizaje, la comunicación y colaboración. Los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de utilizar esta tecnología en casa para tareas específicas de la escuela. Por favor tome tiempo para revisar las expectativas enlistadas abajo con su estudiante. Uso apropiado de las Tecnología en Casa El Chromebook es una herramienta usada con propósito de aprendizaje solamente y debe utilizarse sólo con los propósito(s) determinados por el maestro/a. Los estudiantes que no sigan las Políticas de Disciplina y Uso Aceptable de D303 serán sujetos a consecuencias (por favor refiérase al Manual del Estudiante de D303 http://district.d303.org/student-handbooks). Los estudiantes deberán reportar cualquier actividad/ mensaje/fotografía cuestionable, a miembros del personal inmediatamente. Filtros de Internet En la escuela, los filtros de Internet del Distrito ofrecen protección y restringe el acceso a ciertos sitios y contenido. Este filtro permanece intacto cuando los estudiantes se llevan las tabletas a casa. Desafortunadamente, nuestros filtros NO TIENEN la habilidad de garantizar que todo el contenido inapropiado sea bloqueado. Permanece como responsabilidad del estudiante y padres/tutores adherirse al uso apropiado para asegurar la protección y seguridad del estudiante. Se espera que los padres monitoreen y supervisen el uso de la tecnología en casa.
As was communicated earlier today, in preparation for school closures, we have asked students and staff members to take their electronic devices and materials home each evening beginning tonight. Today, students in grades three through five were assigned Chromebook devices like the ones used in the classroom to access online resources. Students in kindergarten through second grades will not be bringing home devices. Please read the message below that states the expectations and responsibilities of students using these devices. If students were absent today, the can come to school on Monday between 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM to pick up their ChromeBook and any other materials.
Dear Parents,
