XI. PA reserves the right, but is not obligated, to take disciplinary action with any student(s) if unacceptable uses/behaviors occur outside of PA school hours, school related events or on PA property. . XII. In addition, if PA, in its sole discretion, believes that any information on a website, or in an email or text message, is obscene, constitutes a threat, defames, infringes on copyrights or is in any way illegal, whether directed at PA, faculty, staff, students or other, PA will be compelled to contact the appropriate authorities. Students in grades K4-5 will utilize an iPad/Chromebook as a means of enhancing their educational experience. Pillow Academy strives to provide appropriate and adequate technology to support instructional purposes. Each student will be required to use the device as a learning tool. The use of the school issued device by students is not optional. An important component of our technology program will be education about appropriate online behaviors. Cyber-safety rules will be reviewed with students frequently throughout the course of the year and will offer reminders and reinforcement about safe online behaviors. In addition to the rules outlined in PA’s technology policies, students will be expected to comply with all classroom and school rules while using school issued devices. By deploying a filtering system, PA will make every effort to protect students and teachers from any misuses or abuses as a result of their experience with an informational service. . Guidelines ● Students must adhere to the Student Handbook, Acceptable Use Policy and all Board Policies, particularly Internet Acceptable Use. ● Each teacher has the discretion to allow and regulate the use of school issued devices in the classroom and on specific projects. Students must comply with teachers’ requests to shut down the computer, close the screen, or put away the device. • Students acknowledge that the school’s network filters will be applied to one’s connection to the internet and will not attempt to bypass them via “Hotspots” or other methods. ● Devices may not be used to cheat on assignments, quizzes, or tests or for non-instructional purposes (such as making personal phone calls and text messaging).
