STANDARDS FOR PROPER COMPUTER CARE This document is an important addendum to the student Laptop Program Acknowledgement Form. Read it carefully prior to signing. You are expected to follow all the specific guidelines listed in this document and take any additional common sense precautions to protect your assigned computer. Loss or damage resulting in failure to abide by the details below may result in full-financial responsibility. Following the advice and the standards below will lead to a computer that will run smoothly and serve as a reliable, useful and enjoyable tool. Your Responsibilities • Use the computer assigned in a manner that promotes positive, respectful, and courteous interactions and communication between teachers, students, parents, and community members. • Treat this equipment with as much care as if it were your own property. • Bring the computer and charging unit to NCUSD during every school day. (If you forget them, substitutes will only be provided two times a semester, if a loaner is available.) • Keep the computer either secured (i.e., home or other secure place where others do not have access) or attended (with you or within your sight) at all times. Keep the computer stored in a secure place (i.e., locked in the locker room or other suitable place) when you cannot directly monitor it. For example, during athletic events, games, practices and trips, store the computer in a secure place assigned by your coach/sponsor and arrange to return to school to retrieve it after the activity. Computers left in bags and backpacks, or in unattended classrooms are considered “unattended” and may be confiscated by school personnel as a protection against theft. Unattended and unlocked equipment, if stolen - even at school - will be your full financial responsibility. • Avoid use in situations that are conducive to loss or damage. For example, never leave computers in school vans, in the gym, in a locker room, on playing fields, in the cafeteria during lunchtime, or in other areas where it could be damaged or stolen.

Carrying the Computer • Always completely close the lid and wait for the Computer to enter Sleep mode before moving it and place it in the district issued caseit, even for short distances. Movement Sleep mode is sufficient – there is little reason to actually shut‐down the laptop other than on an airplane or during extended days of inactivity. Always store the Computer in the laptop bag provided. Note: do not store anything (e.g.,cords, papers or disks) in the area within the laptop case designed for the Computer other than the Computer itself as this may damage the screen. • We recommend that you carry the laptop bag inside your normal school pack to and from school. The “vertical sleeve” style laptop case was chosen expressly for this purpose. Simply slide the Computer in and out while leaving the computer is case within the school pack. Do not overstuff your pack – extreme pressure on the laptop can result in cause permanent damage to the hard-drive screen and therefore the loss of all dataother components. • Do not grab and squeeze the computer screenComputer, as this can damage it the screen and other components. Components Screen Care •The computer The Computer screen can be easily damaged if proper care is not taken. Broken screens are NOT covered by warranty and can cost over $800 to replace. Screens are particularly sensitive to damage from excessive pressure. • Do not touch the Computer screen with anything (e.g., your finger, pen, pencil, etc.)other than approved Computer screen cleaners. • Clean the screen with a soft, dry, anti-static dry anti‐static cloth or with a screen cleaner designed specifically for LCD type screens. • Never leave any object on the keyboard. Pens or pencils left on the keyboard are guaranteed to crack the screen when the lid is closed, thus resulting in a repair fine to the family. Battery Life and Charging • Arrive to school each day with a fully charged battery. Establish a routine at home whereby each evening you leave your computer Computer charging overnight. • Avoid using the charger in any situation where you or another person is likely to trip over the cord.

Immediately shut down shutdown if you are unable to connect to the charger. • Close the lid of the computer Computer when it is not in use, in order to save battery life and protect the screen. Personal Health and Safety • Avoid extended use of the Computer resting directly on your lap. The bottom of the laptop can generate significant heat and therefore cause temporary or permanent injury. Use a barrier—such as a book or devices made specifically for this purpose— when working on your lap. Also, avoid lap‐based computing while connected to the power adapter as this will significantly increase heat production. • Avoid lengthy use involving repetitive tasks (such as typing and use of the track‐pad). Take frequent breaks as well as alter your physical position (typing while standing, sitting, leaning, etc.) to minimize discomfort. If possible, set up a workstation at home with an external keyboard and mouse that allows you to situate the screen at eye‐level and keyboard at lap‐level. • Read the safety warnings included in the Apple user guide. EQUIPMENT LENDING INFORMATION This additional agreement allows students to check out a variety of peripheral equipment from the building’s library such as still cameras, video cameras, microphones, optical (DVD) drives, and other audio visual devices for multimedia school projects. The signed agreement is part of the Student Laptop Program Acknowledgement Form. The CCSD grants the user permission to borrow technology equipment for school and home use based on mutual agreement of the following: Agreements I will adhere to CCSD School’s Acceptable Use Policy when using this equipment at all times and locations. Equipment needs to be returned at the established due date and time. Damage or Loss I am responsible for any costs incurred due to loss or damage of equipment as determined by the school. I understand that if I violate the above, I may not be permitted to checkout school equipment in the future and may be billed for any costs incurred by the school. COMPUTER USE AND CONDUCT POLICY The primary goal of CCSD’s available technology is to enrich the learning that takes place in and out of classrooms. In particular, technology offers opportunities for exploration and analysis of academic subjects in ways that traditional instruction cannot replicate. However, certain legal and Page Eight ethical restrictions apply. Also, the limited supply of both hardware and software requires us to set priorities for use. Academic work for courses always takes priority over any other use of the computer equipment. Library and Media Lab equipment are reserved exclusively for academic use. The following is a list of rules and guidelines which govern the use of CCSD computers and network resources. Network Resources refers to all aspects of CCSD’s owned or leased equipment, including computers, printers, scanners and other peripherals, as well as email, Internet services, servers, network files and folders, and all other technology‐related equipment and services. These rules apply to any use of CCSD’s network resources whether this access occurs while on or off campus. Students may not use network resources: • to create, send, access or download material which is abusive, hateful, harassing or sexually explicit; • to download, stream or listen to Internet‐based music, video and large image files not required for school work, as this slows the performance of the network for all users. The school will monitor the network for violations; • to alter, add or delete any files that affect the configuration of a school computer other than the laptop assigned for personal use; • to conduct any commercial business; • to conduct any illegal activity (this includes adhering to copyright laws); • to access the data or account of another user (altering files of another user is considered vandalism); • to install any software onto CCSD computers; to copy CCSD school software (copying school owned software programs is considered theft). In addition, students may not: • give out their home address or phone number to anyone on the Internet (this protects users from becoming potential victims of those with criminal intent);

Allowable Customizations. The student Student is permitted to alter or add files to customize the assigned computer Computer to their own working styles (i.e., background screens, default fonts, and other system enhancements). • The student is permitted to add key rings or luggage tags to the exterior of their computer case for identification purposes. • The student is not permitted to alter the computer case through any method that would cause permanent damage. (i.e., stickers, pins, or permanent marker on the case or strap) • The student is not permitted to remove or alter any identification from the computer including, but not limited to the serial number.
