LAPTOP CARE AND USE AT HOME

Students are expected to behave in accordance with the guidelines of the Acceptable Use Policy and Technology Agreement. We always recommend that students:

• Charge the laptop fully each night
• Use the laptop in a common area of the house
• Store the laptop in its protective sleeve on a desk or table, never on the floor
• Keep it away from food, drink, siblings and pets

Student web activity is filtered, but parents/guardians are responsible for monitoring the student’s use of the laptop. We ask that parents/guardians develop a laptop care plan to address the following:

• Use of laptop in common areas
• A safe storage location for charging
• Guidelines for web activity
• Sharing of student passwords with parents only
• Ongoing conversation about student's digital work
