DISTRICT TECHNOLOGY LOAN OUT AGREEMENT

Please print first and last name Potterville Public School students, as part of their continuing development as 21st-century learners, shall be permitted to use district technology in the school, outside of the instructional day, as long as all guidelines are followed. At any time, if guidelines are not followed for district technology use, rights may be restricted, suspended, or discontinued based on the actions.

Potterville Public Schools students are expected to follow the terms specifically outlined in the District Technology Loan Out Agreement and will also be subject to terms outlined in the District Technology Use Agreement, any Potterville Board of Education Policies, and current building level Student Handbooks. By using the technology assigned to me, I understand that I am opting to be responsible for its care and appropriate usage and agree to follow all policies including Board Policy 7540 until the school district restricts, suspends, or discontinues its assignment to the student and equipment is returned to the school.

All users must abide by the rules of technology etiquette, which include:

1. Politeness. Use appropriate language while composing responses, assignments, and other school-related technology uses. No swearing, vulgarities, obscene, belligerent, threatening or suggestive language. 2. Safety. The technology shall be used for only intended purposes to enhance learning. No personal information shall be shared that could compromise student or staff safety. 3. Appropriate. The following is a non-exhaustive list of offenses that are not acceptable uses of technology and could be subject to suspension (note that other uses could be deemed unacceptable that are not listed below):

a. Uses that are offensive to others. Don't use access to make ethnic, sexual preference or gender-related slurs or jokes. b. Uses that violate the law or encourage others to violate the law. Don't transmit offensive or harassing messages: transmission of pornographic images; offer for sale or use any substance whose possession or use is prohibited by the School District's Student Code of Conduct. C. Use of social networking sites. Devices are provided as a tool of the student's education. School is not the appropriate setting for the use of social networking sites and such use is prohibited. Social networking sites are sites where individuals create and view personal profiles, create networks of friends, leave messages for each other, etc. d. Use of gaming and other sites not directly related to classroom instruction. Inappropriate games often include violence, weapons, and topics and graphics that are prohibited. e. Uses that are deemed harassment or bullying. Cyberbullying is strictly prohibited. Technology shall not be used for this purpose or to persuade others to do so. If a student finds that other users are engaged in cyberbullying or harassment, he or she should report such use to the Behavior Coach. f.Using or attempting to use "proxy" sites to circumvent or get around school network security and firewall processes to access blocked sites, images, or other types of media. g. Posting pictures and/or graphics of items that are not appropriate for the school setting on a site or account. Using non school appropriate images or graphics as backgrounds for account profiles, screensavers, screen backgrounds, or site landing pages.

Students shall not share any information that could compromise the privacy of themselves or any other students/staff members at the school. This information includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Login information. 2. Personal information like addresses, phone numbers, age, email address. 3. Descriptions of themselves or any other person that could be used for identification. 4. Photos of oneself or others of any type. Students are to use only the technology that is assigned to them and are not permitted to share their assigned technology with any other students. If a student has his or her technology damaged when willingly sharing it with another student, the student who the technology is assigned to will be liable for all damages. If a student takes (meaning the other student did not willingly give it to them) another student's technology, they may be subject to losing his or her privileges to use district technology.

Each student is responsible every time they use district-provided technology to do the following: 1. Only use his or her own technology, as assigned by the loan out procedure. 2. Report any damage that may have happened to the technologies immediately. 3. Return technology to the school at the end date of the loan out agreement. 4. Use technology only for the intended purpose of furthering his or her education. 5. Do not eat or drink near the Chromebook while the case is open and keyboard exposed. 6. Do not apply stickers or decals of any type to the computer case or protective case. 7. Do not draw on the Chromebook with any type of utensil including pencil, marker, ink pen, paint, etc. 8. Both the Chromebook and charge cord should be labeled with the student name using the provided tags.

All families must sign and agree to the loan out agreement. Below are the listed cost amounts for district devices and replacement parts. The district will not charge students for every day use. However, families will be charged for loss of the device and/or its accessories, cosmetic damage, or damages caused by intentional misuse and abuse.
