This agreement is between Denver Public Schools, in the city and county of Denver, in the state of Colorado and:

As part of the MyTech program and to give students access to online resources both in class and at home, students at MyTech schools are assigned a district-owned Chromebook. It is intended that the student will carry this Chromebook with him/her for use at school and at home.

In consideration of the use of the Chromebook at home, parent and student agree that:
1. The student will use the tool according to instructors’ guidance while outside of school.
2. Parent acknowledges that while the District makes every effort to ensure security of the device, students may be able to access unsecured and unfiltered networks outside of the control of Denver Public Schools. Responsible use of network resources is the sole responsibility of the student and parent.
3. The parent and student will be personally responsible for any intentional or unintentional damage to or loss of the computing device while in the student’s care - on or off of school property. The cost of this repair or replacement will be offset by the MyTech fee. (See fee table below and the MyTech Handbook for details – http://MyTech.dpsk12.org)

4. The parent and student will return the device upon request in the same condition as it was received, taking into account normal wear and use.
5. The parent and student have read the DPS MyTech Handbook and will care for the Chromebook as described therein.
6. Device is property of Denver Public Schools as is any installed software. As such, the district can monitor its use remotely and any violations of Denver Public Schools’ policy can result in discipline in line with district policy.
7. Device may be erased as part of maintenance or repair. Backup of student-owned data is solely the responsibility of the student and neither the school nor the district is responsible for loss of stored files, music, video or software.
8. Students will keep the device clean and in proper working condition. Student will notify a school representative immediately if the device does not work as expected or shows unusual wear.
9. Any text, imagery, or audio that is illegal according to local, state, or federal law (e.g., threats, hate speech, obscene or sexual images or text) will be immediately reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

It is understood that the intentional failure to return the computing device to the school under some circumstances may constitute theft of district property. Any theft of district property, including the reported sale or transfer of the device for profit will be reported to the district attorney for prosecution. This agreement ends on the last day of the present school year, upon the
student’s withdrawal from current school, or upon the request of the school principal or other school representative, whichever occurs first and when the device is returned in good working order or replacement fees paid.
