1:1 Initiative User Agreement
____________________________________________
2023-2024 Apple iPad User Agreement
Introduction
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the rules and conditions under which an Apple iPad (1:1 device) is issued to a student enrolled at the Wyomissing Area School District (WASD). This Agreement is for the 2023-2024 school year unless it is modified by the WASD. The WASD student and his/her parents/guardians must understand and sign this Agreement before the student may take possession of the device. If a student or parent/guardian does not understand any part of this Agreement, he/she should ask for an explanation or clarification.
The Purpose of the Device
The purpose of providing an electronic 1:1 device is to support and enhance the education of the WASD student. The WASD teachers and staff will integrate technology and the 1:1 device into the curriculum when appropriate. The 1:1 device will play a role in developing the knowledge and skills to be successful in the 21st century.
Student Responsibilities and Prohibited Use
1. The student and parents/guardians must know that the use of the 1:1 device conveys no expectation of privacy. WASD reserves the right to inspect, monitor, and search school owned property for the purpose of determining if any policy has been violated, or when an inspection is necessary to ensure safety and compliance with state and federal laws.
a. Any authorized WASD staff member has the right to halt any activity involving a 1:1 device that may cause a disruption to the educational process or compromise the safety of any student.
b. The student will provide their 1:1 device to an authorized WASD staff member immediately upon request. The device is the property of WASD and was provided for instructional purposes.
2. The student must adhere to all existing WASD policies including:
a. 815 - Acceptable Use of Technology Resources/Facilities and Internet by Staff, Students, and Community Members.
b. 237 - Electronic Devices
c. 249 – Bullying / Cyberbullying
3. Authorized WASD staff, the student, and his/her parents/guardians are the only authorized users of the 1:1 device. Students are strictly prohibited from sharing or swapping devices/passwords. Parents/guardians have the right to obtain their student’s password.
4. The student will charge their 1:1 device and keyboard each day so they are ready for class. Arriving to school without their 1:1 device (or with a 1:1 device without a charge) will have consequences similar to not having their textbook or other required educational supplies.
5. The protection of student documents is the sole responsibility of the student. Each student has storage space on a network server that they may use to back up their important documents from their 1:1 device. There is no automatic synchronization between the 1:1 device and the network storage.
6. Students will not attempt to bypass any form of security built into the 1:1 device’s operating system or the WASD network. Irresponsible or unlawful use of the 1:1 device will result in progressive disciplinary actions as defined by school procedures, policies, and applicable local, state, and federal laws.
7. The following uses of the 1:1 device are prohibited – except as part of a documented educational activity:

responsibility/obligations.
9. The student must not remove or attempt to remove any identifying stickers or labels adhered to the 1:1 device, or to the protective case.
