Bethel School District – 1:1 Technology Expectations

BSD students are privileged to be a part of this iPad initiative and must be responsible, respectful and safe users of this district-owned device.

Overview Information

·  These devices are meant to be personalized by the student for his or her learning. We want personal and academic use on the device with a focus on digital citizenship.

·  Bethel has an internal App store called Self-Service.

·  Each student will receive the same device and case at the beginning of the next academic year.

·  iPads should come to school fully charged every day.

·  iPads should stay in their cases.

·  iPads, cases, Apple cords and charger blocks will be collected at the end of the school year.

·  For general support contact SLHS at 683-5601. The main office will connect you to the correct person.

·  If you download a social media app or another blocked app your device will lose some functionality. Delete the blocked app and your device functionality will be restored.

·  If your device is stolen please let the librarian or main office clerk know and follow the appropriate steps as per the “Stolen iPad Procedures” form. The device will be shut down and unusable to anyone.
