Southampton Public Schools iPad Program

The focus of the iPad program at Southampton Public Schools is to provide tools and resources to the 21^st Century Learner. Excellence in education requires that technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the educational program. Increasing access to technology is essential for the future, and one of the learning tools of these twenty-first century students is the iPad computer. The individual use of iPads is a way to empower students to maximize their full potential and to prepare them for college and the workplace. Learning results from the continuous dynamic interaction among students, educators, parents and the extended community. Technology immersion does not diminish the vital role of the teacher. To the contrary, it transforms the teacher from a director of learning to a facilitator of learning, empowering students to take a more active role in their education. Effective teaching and learning with iPads integrates technology into the curriculum anytime, anyplace. The policies, procedures and information within this document apply to all iPads used at Southampton Public Schools, including any other device considered by the Administration to come under this policy. Teachers may set additional requirements for use in their classrooms.

1. RECEIVING YOUR iPad & iPad CHECK-IN

1.1 Receiving your iPad

iPads will be distributed at the start of school during iPad Orientation. Parents & students are required to attend an orientation and must sign and return the iPad Student Pledge and District Network Policy before the iPad can be issued to the student.

The iPad Protection plan outlines an option for families to protect the iPad investment for the school district. Please review the iPad Protection plan included in this handbook.

1.2 iPad Check-in 

iPads will be returned during final month of school so they can be checked for serviceability and reimaging. If a student transfers out of the Southampton Public Schools during the school year, the iPad and all accessories will be returned at that time.

1.3 Check-in Fines

Individual school iPads and accessories must be returned to the SIS Computer Room or SHS ELC at the end of each school year.

Students who graduate early, withdraw, are suspended or expelled, or terminate enrollment at SPS for any other reason must return their individual school iPad on the date of termination.

If a student fails to return the iPad at the end of the school year or upon termination of enrollment at SPS, the parent/guardian will be subject to criminal prosecution or must pay the replacement cost of the iPad.  Failure to do so, will result in the filing of a theft report with the Southampton Police Department.

Furthermore, the parent/guardian will be responsible for any damage to the iPad, consistent with the District’s Network and Computer Policy and Student Code of Conduct, and must return the device and accessories to the SIS Technology Office in satisfactory condition. The student will be charged a fee for any needed repairs, not to exceed the replacement cost of the iPad.

2. TAKING CARE OF YOUR iPad

Students are responsible for the general care of the iPad they have been issued by the school. iPads that are broken or fail to work properly must be taken to SIS or SHS Technology Office for an evaluation of the equipment.

2.1 General Precautions

The iPad is school property, and all users are expected to follow this policy and the SPS District Network and Computer Acceptable Policy and the District Code of Conduct.

Only use a clean, soft cloth to clean the screen, no cleansers of any type.  Cords and cables must be inserted carefully into the iPad to prevent damage.

 iPads must remain free of any writing, drawing, stickers, or labels that are not the property of the Southampton Public School District.

iPads must never be left in an unlocked locker, unlocked car or any unsupervised area.

iPads must never be left outside or inside locked car as extreme temperatures will cause damage to the device.

Students are responsible for keeping their iPad battery charged for school each day.

If students use skins to personalize their iPads, they must not take off any SPS labels.

2.2 Carrying iPads

The protective cases provided with iPads have sufficient padding to protect the iPad from normal treatment and provide a suitable means for carrying the device within the school. The guidelines below should be followed: iPads should always be within the protective case when carried.

 Some carrying cases can hold other objects (such as folders and workbooks), but these must be kept to a minimum to avoid placing too much pressure and weight on the iPad screen.

2.3 Screen Care

The iPad screens can be damaged if subjected to rough treatment. The screens are particularly sensitive to damage from excessive pressure.

Do not lean on the top of the iPad when it is closed.

 Do not place anything near the iPad that could put pressure on the screen.

Do not place anything in the carrying case that will press against the cover.

Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth or anti-static cloth.

Do not bump the iPad against lockers, walls, car doors, floors, etc. as it will eventually break the screen.

Do not carry the laptop by the screen as this will eventually damaged

3. USING YOUR iPad AT SCHOOL

iPads are intended for use at school each day. In addition to teacher expectations for iPad use, school messages, announcements, calendars and schedules may be accessed using the iPad device. Students must be responsible to bring their iPad to all classes, unless specifically instructed not to do so by their teacher.

3.1 iPads Left at Home

If students leave their iPad at home, they are responsible for completing the course work for that day as if they had their iPad present. If a student repeatedly (3 or more times as determined by any staff member) leaves their iPad at home (or doesn’t bring it to class), he/she will be required to “check- in” their iPad from the help desk located in the SIS or SHS Technology Office for 2 weeks and it is the responsibility of student to complete all necessary assignments.   3.2 iPad Undergoing Repair

Replacement iPads may be issued to students when they leave their iPads for repair in the SIS/SHS Technology Office. There may be a delay in getting an iPad should the school not have enough to loan.

3.3 Charging Your iPad Battery iPads must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition. Students need to charge their iPads each evening.

Repeat violations of this policy will result in students being required to “check- in” their iPad from the help desk for 2 weeks. Second offense will result in the loss of iPad privileges for 3 weeks.

In cases where use of the iPad has caused batteries to become discharged, students may be able to connect their iPads to a power outlet in class.

3.4 Screensavers/Background photos

Inappropriate media may not be used as a screensaver or background photo.

Presence of guns, weapons, pornographic materials, inappropriate language, alcohol, drug, gang-related symbols or pictures will result in disciplinary actions as stated in the District Network Policy and Code of Conduct.

 Lock Passwords are not to be used on the iPad.

3.5 Sound, Music, Games, or Programs

 Sound and notifications must be muted at all times unless permission is obtained from the teacher for instructional purposes.

Music is allowed on the iPad and can be used at the discretion of the teacher.

All software/Apps needed for class will be district provided.  Data Storage will be through apps on the iPads and emailed or uploaded to eBackpack and stored on a server.  It is the students’ responsibility to back up their work and not use the device as a primary storage area.

4.1 Saving on the iPad 

Students may save work to the home directory on the iPad. It is recommended students e-mail documents to themselves for storage on a flash drive, eBackpacks, or the District server. Storage space will be available on the iPad BUT it will NOT be backed up in case of re-imaging. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that work is not lost due to mechanical failure or accidental deletion. iPad malfunctions are not an acceptable excuse for not submitting work.
