The Technology is loaned to the student for academic purposes to assist the student in accessing the curriculum and assist staff in teaching the curriculum. The Technology will be evaluated to determine if it is being used appropriately, enhancing instruction, and making a positive impact on the student's learning and access to the curriculum.

As with the assignment of textbooks, students are financially responsible for the replacement of the Technology should it become damaged, lost, or stolen.  Students and staff to whom the Technology has been issued will be responsible for the full replacement cost.

The Technology Department will require the Technology and all of its accessories to be returned for regular service/maintenance at the end of the school year on a date determined by the school's Principal or at other designated times, as requested by the Network Technician. The Technology Department may reassign the Technology at any time, and may require the Technology to be returned at any time. The technology and all accessories are the property of the Norton Public Schools, and upon leaving the Norton Public Schools, the student or staff member to whom the Technology has been issued, will return it to the Norton Public Schools immediately.

By signing this form, the parent/guardian agrees to support their child to be responsible with the technology that includes:

-Handle the technology with care
-Bring the device fully charged to school each day or have it fully charged for learning from home days
-Secure the technology and protect it from theft
-Report damage or malfunctions as soon as possible
-Abide by the District’s Empowered Digital Use Policy and grade level guidelines both in and out of school

If your child is in grades PK, K or 1, they will receive an iPad, case, and charger to use during the school year. If your child is in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 9, they will receive an HP chromebook and charger to use during the school year. Both devices will be used to support learning from home during the Hybrid model, Remote Parent Choice, or if Remote Learning for All occurs during the school year.

Internet use of the device will be monitored through the school's filtering software consistent with CIPA regulations.
