I acknowledge that the use of this device by my child is for his/her educational benefit, and in return I accept the foregoing terms of use. • I agree to permit my child to connect this device to our home internet service to complete school assignments. If internet service is not available, I will let my child’s teacher know so that arrangements can be made when my child has homework assignments on-line. • I agree to supervise my child when they use this device to connect to the internet at home and will not hold the District responsible for any online misbehavior by my child when at home. • I will provide an atmosphere that will encourage the responsible participation of my son/daughter in the computing program.

My child and I agree that we are responsible for damage to the assigned device and accessories if it is lost or stolen. • I understand that if damage is caused by my child, I may be held financially responsible. The District will address these situations on a case-by-case basis, but understand that I will be financially responsible for all damage or loss caused by neglect or abuse. • I have reviewed the Unadilla Valley Central School District Administrative Regulations for Internet Protection and agree to encourage my child to follow its expectations. • I understand that failure to comply with the terms of the contract may result in my son/daughter’s disqualification from using the shared device.

  8. UNADILLA VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICTDistrictPledge for Shared Device Use • Wi-Fi access • Filtering • Access to Network • Mail address • Supply certain Apps • Provide maintenance of device

  9. Key Points • iPad is an educational tool and a privilege,NOT a right. • We are learning along with the students. • The only way we will get better is to use the device and try different things. • We have provided sheets of various tips and facts for you to reference. • If your child causes damage or loses the iPad, you will be held financially responsible based on market value.

  10. Key Points Continued • iPads should come to school every day fully charged. Not having your iPad ready to use in a classroom is considered not being prepared for class. • Students should not deface the physical device. (stickers, markers, etc.) • We encourage students to decorate the cases. • Everyone has the same case and you will need to somehow identify your iPad.

  11. Key Points Continued • Do not use any liquids to clean the screens. Only use Microfiber cloths. • Students can use their own iTunes account and we highly recommend the account not be attached to a credit card. • iPads cannot sync with home computers. • We are supplying one charger only. It will cost $40 to replace the charger. Chargers must be returned in June with the iPad.

  12. Key Points Continued • Be careful of “cheap” chargers. They can cause fires and damage the device. • Students in grades 10-12 now have their own email account. Address is last name, first three letters of their first name @students.uvstorm.org • Sample email John Student would be studentjoh@students.uvstorm.org • All email is archived in accordance with NYS law.
