Can a student use their own device in any class?

At Aspen School District, we issue students computers in grades K-12. If a student wants to use a personal device at school, they should speak with their Principal.

What are some examples of inappropriate use?

Some examples include but are not limited to the following:\ The student uses an electronic device without the expressed approval of his/her teacher.\ The student records a video without the permission of the teacher and posts it on YouTube.\ The student takes pictures during class of other students and sends them electronically to friends without teacher approval.\ The teacher has given permission to use the device for a project, but the student chooses to check his or her account on a social media site instead.\ The student records or video tapes anyone without the knowledge and permission of an individual. This may be punishable under federal, state and local laws.

Who is responsible if the device is damaged, stolen, or lost?

Your school issued Chromebook have a 4 year warranty. If anything breaks, students should immediately bring their device to their building technologist to be sent back for warranty repair at NO CHARGE. Students bring personal electronic communication devices to school at their own risk, just like any other personal items. The district does not condone the use of personal devices during school hours and will not be held responsible if an electronic device or other item is lost, stolen or misplaced.
